Transgender athletes are allowed to compete in the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). The NCAA has developed policies to enable transgender student-athletes to participate in college sports in a manner that is fair and inclusive.
As of my last update in April 2023, the NCAA policy for transgender athletes includes the following key points:
Transgender women (male-to-female transgender student-athletes) are required to complete one calendar year of testosterone suppression treatment to compete on a women's team.
Transgender men (female-to-male transgender student-athletes) who are receiving testosterone treatment as part of their gender transition are allowed to compete on men's teams but lose their eligibility to compete on women's teams.
The NCAA policies are designed to ensure transgender student-athletes participate in a manner consistent with their gender identity while maintaining fairness in competition. These policies are subject to review and can be updated, so it's important to consult the latest NCAA guidelines or statements for the most current information.
