May 6 (UPI) -- The Phoenix Union High School District passed a resolution Thursday supporting transgender student athletes, bucking a law passed in March banning them from competing on women's and girls' sports teams at some schools in the state.

The law signed by Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey requires public and private schools to designate sports teams based on the student's "biological sex" in the name of fairness.

In the school district's resolution, the governing board said that all students deserved to be in an "inclusive environment" that was "free of discrimination."

"The governing board opposes legislation that is an attack on the safety of trans children and youth including legislation requiring them to participate in athletic competitions based on their sex assigned at birth," the resolution said.

1. How about based on gender and hormonal influence during puberty?

The testosterone influence on the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems during puberty renders a permanent change that permanently in levels the playing field. I might suggest that sports eligibility be determined by age. If influenced by testosterone in puberty > play with men. If not influenced by testosterone in puberty > play with women.
