New York Students Plan Walkout to Protest Trans Athletes in Girls' Sports

The protest, organized by the Coalition to Protect Kids, is set for October 24 and aims to oppose transgender participation in female sports.

The 'Walk Off for Fairness Day' protest is backed by conservative and religious groups, including the Catholic Church and New York Republican and Conservative parties.
Students argue that transgender athletes have physical advantages, which they believe undermines fairness in girls' sports.
The protest coincides with debates over Proposition 1, a proposed constitutional amendment addressing discrimination, which critics say could affect sports regulations.
Some New York lawmakers have already passed local measures to restrict transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports at county-run facilities.
Opponents of Prop 1 claim it could erode protections under Title IX, while supporters argue it focuses on protecting abortion rights and preventing discrimination.
