Sadie Schreiner, a transgender NCAA track athlete, highlights limited opportunities due to state bans and institutional resistance, while vowing to continue competing in 2025.
- Sadie Schreiner, a Division III track athlete at Rochester Institute of Technology, has voiced frustration over the lack of transfer opportunities for transgender athletes in college sports.
- Schreiner attributes the limited opportunities to state-level bans in 25 U.S. states that prevent transgender women from competing in women's sports, affecting potential scholarships and team placements.
- The athlete has faced criticism for competing in women's events, including a controversial podium finish at the 2024 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championship, displacing a biological female athlete.
- Schreiner also expressed broader concerns about the political and social climate for transgender individuals, claiming transgender rights are being eroded in the U.S.
- President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to implement a nationwide ban on transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports, a move likely to face legal challenges and further national debate.
