LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling allowing states to ban men from competing in women’s sports aligns with what voters think.

According to a survey from Napolitan News, only 18% of voters believe males should be allowed to participate in women’s sports. Across party lines, nearly 9 in 10 Republicans (88%) and a majority of Democrats (55%) oppose allowing men to compete in women’s sports.

In addition, Napolitan reports that the Supreme Court ruling reflects voters’ belief that decisions about whether to allow men to compete in women’s sports should be made by individual states, not the federal government. That finding aligns with another survey result showing that only 25% of voters trust the federal government most of the time. In fact, 61% of voters agree that local and state governments can handle most issues. The exceptions where they would defer to the federal government include national security, Social Security, and Medicare.

In Michigan, current state law allows males to continue competing on women’s sports teams despite the Supreme Court ruling. The Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA), the governing body for high school sports in the state, said its hands are tied because its current policy regarding males competing in women’s sports is based on the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act.

An MHSAA official told Michigan News Source that any changes would have to come from the state Legislature.
