The Michigan House passed HR 40 yesterday, a resolution urging the MHSAA to change its policies on transgender student-athletes in compliance with Executive Order 14201.

This is completely unnecessary and purely political—MHSAA itself has confirmed that only two transgender girls have been approved to compete in high school sports this year. Out of 175,000+ athletes. Yet, instead of working on real issues like better school funding or improving athletic programs, lawmakers are using their time to target trans kids.

Executive orders are not laws—Michigan is not legally required to comply. Our legislators should be standing up for all students, not giving in to discriminatory, performative politics.

What You Can Do:

✅ Find your representative
✅ Check how they voted
✅ Call or email them and demand they stop supporting harmful resolutions like HR 40.

Our lawmakers should be working to support students, not stigmatize them. Let’s hold them accountable.
