Transgender Participation on agenda at NSAA meeting

I will be at the Nebraska School Activities Association Representative Assembly meeting today at 9:00 am in Lincoln. On the agenda is a policy to require all NSAA activity participants to participate as the gender that is on the certificate at birth. This would place Nebraska as the only state with this policy. Several other states require participation as the gender on your birth certificate. The difference results from state laws that allow people to legally change the gender on their birth certificate.
After many calls and e-mails the past two weeks asking me to vote for certificate at birth, I still choose to listen to the NSAA staff and the NSAA attorney when casting my vote.
