boys have to play sports. (5) Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students also experience sex-based discrimination in sports, with transgender women and girls being least likely to participate in sports. Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students are consistently denied opportunities to play, often due to policies restricting them from playing sports. The addition of policies that exclude transgender students from athletic opportunities correlates with an overall decrease in sports participation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey, States with policies that exclude transgender students from participation in athletics saw a decrease in overall girls’ participation in sports from 2011 to 2019, whereas States with inclusive policies did not see a decrease in that participation during that same timeframe. (6) The magnitude of current gaps in intercollegiate athletics participation opportunities is likely undercounted, as investigations of intercollegiate athletics data have found that the majority of NCAA member institutions inflate the number of women participating in sports by double- and triple-counting women athletes who participate in more than one sport more often than the institutions double- and triple-count their counterparts who are men, counting men who are practice players on women’s teams as women athletes, and packing women’s teams with extra players who never end up competing. (7) Women and girls in sports also face unequal treatment. They are frequently provided worse facilities, equipment, and uniforms than men and boys, and they receive less financial support and publicity from their schools, as women receive $240,000,000 less than men in athletic-based scholarships annually. For every dollar colleges spend on recruiting, travel, and equipment for men’s sports, they spend 58 cents, 62 cents, and 73 cents, respectively, for women’s sports.
