Nonprofit advocacy group criticizes ban on transgender women competing in Olympic sports

“By giving into the political demands, the USOPC is sacrificing the needs and safety of its own athletes,” president and CEO Fatima Goss Graves of the National Women’s Law Center said in a statement.

The National Women’s Law Center describes itself on its website as an organization that fights for gender justice. It says it works “to break down the barriers that harm all of us — especially women of color, LGBTQ people, and low-income women and families.”
