The Hempfield School Board in Lancaster County adopted a policy last week that limits a student athlete’s participation to sports teams that align with their sex at birth.

Supporters say those born as males have an unfair advantage over females – even after they transition to female.

Opponents indicate such policies are discriminate against transgender students or athletes.

We hear from both sides of the debate on Wednesday’s Smart Talk.

Appearing on the program are Naiymah Sanchez, Trans Justice Coordinator, American Civil Liberties Union — Pennsylvania and Republican State Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill of York County, one of the co-sponsors of legislati8on that would have restricted athletes to teams that matched their assigned sex at birth. That bill was vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf.
