The meeting of the Illinois School District Board was surpassed by the opposite protesters for the second time on Monday night in the erupting tensions about trans athletes in girls’ sports.
The community has been involved in a growing division after a trans athlete of high school won three girls of girls’ athletics in May.
The meeting of the Board of District 203 of the Community Unit of Naperville saw almost its full duration of three hours dedicated to passionate debates on the subject. The last meeting of the District Board on May 21 saw the same situation that took place, which caused national attention.

During Monday’s meeting, like the last meeting, the seats were full of members of the community of cultures in conflict, since half of the room wielded flags of transgender pride, while the other half raised signs from “protecting girls.”
Several speeches finally exploded in strong bustling conferences, while almost all speeches received a roaring applause from the middle of the room.
A pro-transgender speaker called Patty Drugan said that the Awake Illinois conservative activist group was causing transgender young people to commit suicide in the state, while defending the student at Trans high school in the center of the controversy.
“You must take a look at the Awake Illinois website, and those are the reasons why these children commit suicide!” Said Drugan. “The shame is in all of you because for those of you who do not lack respect for that child, those of you who did not defend that child, shame is all about you!”
Another pro-transgender speaker called James Katchmeric said the rhetoric to keep trans athletes out of girls’ sports was “Nazi things.”
“I learned what happened in World War II, and discovered that trans people were the ones who were attacked first. So this is Nazi,” Katchmeric said. “
The pro-transgender protesters sitting in the front row turned their backs on the “Protect Girls Sports” speakers on the lectern during their speeches throughout the night. Multiple speakers there to oppose the trans inclusion in girls sports wore the shirts of the XX-Xy Athletic Sports Cup activist brand.

The founder of Awake Illinois, Shannon Adcock, wore an XX-XY athletics shirt, promised to protect the sports of girls and said that the authority of the federal government has priority over the laws of the State that protect trans inclusion.
“We are going to protect these children and Title IX will reign supreme. There is federal supremacy, no matter how many times people want a certain state statute to cancel federal law, you can’t,” said Adcock.
Illinois’s law has protected the right of biological men to compete in sports of girls and women since 2006.
After President Donald Trump signed the executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” on February 5, legislators of the Republican Party of the State of Illinois sent a letter to the Illinois Secondary School Association (IHSA) asking when he would comply with the order.
However, the IHSA responded by saying that Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, and the Illinois Human Rights Department have declared that state law requires that transgender athletes can participate based on gender identity. Then, the problem has persisted in the state, while many families and legislators are asking the Trump administration to intervene, as it has done in Maine and California so far.
Representative Mary Miller, R-Bill., He went to a second letter on May 21 to the United States Department of Education and the Department of Justice requesting federal intervention on the subject. Miller previously sent a letter in April asking for intervention.
Miller’s last letter asks the United States attorney general, Pam Bondi, and the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, to specifically examine the incident of Naperville and consider extracting federal funds from the State, as seen in a copy obtained by Pak Gazette Digital.
The meetings of the school board have been a platform to invoke that intervention in the state so far.
Currently, there is a federal investigation of the title IX in Illinois with respect to the transgender that prevent female spaces, but it is only against a school.
