The Maryland Freedom Caucus criticized a sign displayed by Democratic delegates Eric Ebersole and Nick Allen, which asserted that “trans women have no competitive advantage” in women’s sports, coinciding with National Girls & Women in Sports Day. Ebersole and Allen expressed their support for the LGBTQ+ community and denounced discrimination against transgender youth.

The sign also highlighted concerns about policies that jeopardize the dignity and safety of transgender youth.
