The WIAA Representative Assembly is set to vote on two proposed amendments that would restrict transgender students' participation in girls' sports. One amendment, led by Lynden School District, mimics a restrictive policy from Alaska by creating an 'open division' for boys sports and limiting girls' sports to biological females. The proposals have sparked significant civil rights objections, with groups such as ACLU Washington labeling them as discriminatory and inequitable.

Following President Trump's executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” which aims to ban transgender students from competing in women's sports, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association announced that it will seek legal counsel and await further guidance before amending its policies. The association is reviewing state law and its own handbook on gender identity participation to determine the appropriate response.

This move has been criticized for effectively segregating trans athletes at a time of contentious political and social pressure regarding transgender inclusion.
