The Hempfield School Board in Lancaster County adopted a policy last week that limits a student athlete's participation to sports teams that align with their sex at birth. Supporters say those born as males have an unfair advantage over females – even after they transition to female. Opponents indicate such policies are discriminate against transgender students or athletes. We hear from both sides of the debate on Wednesday's Smart Talk. Appearing on the program are Naiymah Sanchez, Trans Justice Coordinator, American Civil Liberties Union — Pennsylvania and Republican State Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill of York County, one of the co-sponsors of legislati8on that would have restricted athletes to teams that matched their assigned sex at birth. That bill was vetoed by Gov. Tom Wolf.   Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that discrimination in the workplace against LGBQ&T people is a form of sex discrimination. What does the ruling mean for people in Pennsylvania? And what is the additional work that needs to be done to be sure that prohibitions on discrimination are comprehensive? For this episode, we hear from Naiymah Sanchez, transgender justice coordinator for the ACLU of PA, and Mary Catherine Roper, deputy legal director of ACLU-PA. They talk about their reactions to the ruling and what it means; plus, Naiymah talks about her appreciation for Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania's Secretary of Health and the state's only trans statewide official, and Mary Catherine previews another LGBQ&T case that will be before the Supreme Court in its next session.

In episode 2, we talk with Brandi Fisher of the Alliance for Police Accountability, a grassroots, community-based organization in Pittsburgh.

Then we're joined by Naiymah Sanchez, organizer and transgender advocacy coordinator for the ACLU of Pennsylvania, for our Meet The Staff segment. Naiymah has been hosting community conversations throughout the commonwealth over the last year, and she discusses what she has heard and learned at those events. We're fighting House Bill 27, the police secrecy bill, which has passed the state House and is now in the state Senate. Call your state senator and tell them to vote "no" on HB 27.
