Cora Barry, a sophomore on the Greely track team, expressed concern about the backlash transgender students are facing from high-ranking government officials. Madison Biedermann from the U.S. Department of Education stated that Maine could maintain its federal funding if it prohibits transgender girls from competing on female teams and using female locker rooms. Gia Drew, executive director of EqualityMaine, believes the issue goes beyond Title IX and is about power and politics rather than fairness in sports. Greely High School, known for being progressive and inclusive, has faced challenges in the wake of Trump’s executive order on transgender athletes. Despite this, the district has decided to follow state guidance and allow transgender athletes to compete on teams aligned with their gender identity. The school’s commitment to inclusivity and adherence to the Maine Human Rights Act has been praised by students and parents.
