Lynda King, a lawyer associated general of the Nevada Higher Education System, said at a meeting on April 24 that she was not aware of any transgender athlete in collegial sports in Nevada.
Spokesperson Tony Allen confirmed that King’s comment was correct for UNLV. UNR spokesperson Aaron Juarez said this information could not be published for the university under federal privacy laws.
The question arose as the Trump administration has increased efforts to ban Trans athletes in female sports and the Republican lieutenant, Governor Stavros Anthony created a working group to protect female sports.
According to the Williams Institute of the University of California of the Los Angeles School of Law, it is unlikely that transgender athletes represent more than 1.3% of the participation of university athletes. Only 1.3% of young adults aged 18 to 24 identify as transgender.
