Nebraska could be one of eight states that have a policy governing the participation of transgender students in school activities. The policy (below) ensures appropriate gender assignment for sports and requires the student’s home school to perform a confidential evaluation to determine the gender assignment for the prospective student-athlete. Before anyone thinks that males will start to dominate female sports in Nebraska, according to Deadspin.com the few instances in California it has been female athletes wanting to compete in male sports. Nobody seems to get excited about that. In college athletics the NCAA gives transgender athletes their choice of sport, but requires biologically male players to undergo one year of hormone therapy before competing in women's sports. This is not a requirement in the Nebraska high school policy.
