The official athletics association for small colleges and universities in North America has just banned transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports events.

On Monday, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced the ban on transgenders in women’s sports.

In a statement, the NAIA said it supports “fair and safe competition for all student-athletes.”

The organization notes that “Title IX ensures there are separate and equal opportunities for female athletes.”

The NAIA also laid out its updated participation rules with conditions.
