CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Alberta’s new policy protecting female athletes from gender-confused men has taken effect across the province.
On September 1, Alberta enacted the Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, which mandates that athletes over the age of 12 compete in divisions based on their biological sex, protecting women and girls from having their victories stolen by gender-confused men.
“Female athletes across Alberta, and their parents, will be ecstatic that these common sense rules have now taken effect!” Campaign Life Coalition’s Jack Fonseca told LifeSiteNews.
“The transgender insanity that’s been allowing biological males to crush – and sometimes physically injure – female athletes, is finally being pushed back against!” Fonseca celebrated.
“No more will girls be humiliated by physically stronger boys, and their competitive sports dreams shattered,” he continued. “No more will young girls and women athletes be made to feel that their privacy and safety is being violated by the presence of biological males in their locker room, change rooms and showers.”
According to an Edmonton school document, obtained by CBC News, children older than 12 trying out for sports teams are required to have their parents sign a form confirming their biological sex.
The rules do not apply for children under 12 years old or for physical education class.
In December, Alberta passed the Fairness and Safety in Sport Act to prevent biological men who claim to be women from competing in women’s sports. The legislation took effect on September 1 and applies to all school boards, universities, as well as provincial sports organizations.
The move comes after studies have repeatedly revealed what almost everyone already knew was true, namely that males have a considerable advantage over women in athletics.
Indeed, a recent study published in Sports Medicine found that a year of “transgender” hormone drugs results in “very modest changes” in the inherent strength advantages of men.
Additionally, male athletes competing in women’s sports are known to be violent, especially toward female athletes who oppose their dominance in women’s sports.
Last August, Albertan male powerlifter “Anne” Andres was suspended for six months after a slew of death threats and harassments against his female competitors.
In February, Andres ranted about why men should be able to compete in women’s competitions, calling for “the Ontario lifter” who opposes this, apparently referring to powerlifter April Hutchinson, to “die painfully.”
Interestingly, while Andres was suspended for six months for issuing death threats, Hutchinson was suspended for two years after publicly condemning him for stealing victories from women and then mocking his female competitors on social media. Her suspension was later reduced to a year.
The sport legislation is only part of Alberta’s new policies to protect children from the worst effects of the LGBT agenda.
As LifeSiteNews previously reported, Alberta is currently fighting a court order which is blocking the province’s newly passed ban on transgender surgeries and drugs for children.
Additionally, Alberta plans to ban books with sexually explicit as well as pornographic material, many of which contain LGBT and even pedophilic content, from all school libraries.
