We are awaiting a response from the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) regarding their compliance with federal directives. These directives prohibit athletes from participating in single-sex sports different from their sex assigned at birth. Representative Friess supports the protection of women's sports and personal spaces.
According to the press release: "Rep. Friess stands firmly in support of protecting women’s sports and personal spaces."
The issue has garnered attention, and a response from IHSA is highly anticipated by stakeholders.
The matter stems from an order issued during the Trump administration concerning transgender athletes and their participation in sports. Illinois House Republicans are actively seeking compliance from the IHSA.
The public waits for the IHSA’s stance on these directives to be made clear.
