After the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against Maine on Wednesday, state Attorney General Aaron Frey claimed there are “no concerns of safety” about female athletes competing against transgender-identifying males.
Frey made the comment during an interview on CNN, continuing his state’s defense of letting males play on female sports teams because of their claimed “gender identity.” The DOJ is suing Maine over its refusal to comply with President Trump’s executive order, which interpreted Title IX to prohibit the inclusion of men in women’s sports.
“We’ve been working though to understand what, if any, problem exists with the participation. If some of the harms that are being alleged really are of some concern and what we’ve identified, there really are no concerns of safety,” Frey said.
Safety concerns about males playing on female sports teams are not unfounded, given their obvious biological advantages along with incidences like that of Payton McNabb, a young woman who was seriously injured by a trans-identifying male volleyball player.
Even so, Frey insisted that the safety of female athletes is not the concern of Democrats in Maine. He also said officials are only aware of two trans-identifying athletes competing on girls’ teams in the states.
