‘It’s about freedom’: Celebs push for boys in girls’ sports in new ad

Boys playing on the girls’ soccer team? It’s the American way.

That’s the bizarre message of a new ad in which a motley assemblage of actors and athletes lecture the viewer on the importance of allowing male high school athletes to compete against females.

‘Time and time again, we see powerful politicians fixate on trans kids.’

Released Monday, the 30-second clip kicks off the ACLU’s “More Than a Game” campaign, which seeks to draw attention to two Supreme Court cases the organization brought challenging state bans on transgender-identified biological males playing women’s sports.

‘Free’-for-all

In the spot, celebs ranging from soccer player turned activist Megan Rapinoe to actors Naomi Watts and Elliot (née Ellen) Page deliver feel-good, fact-free slogans like, “Supporting trans youth isn’t just about sports. It’s about freedom.”

The ad also claims that transgender children are “the living, breathing fabric of this country.”

“Sports are for every kid who wants to play — including trans youth,” the ACLU wrote in a message underneath the clip.

Targeting ‘trans’

The group simultaneously released a petition against what it calls the Trump administration’s “attacks” on “trans kids.”

“Over the last several years, politicians across the country have targeted trans people and our families — and under the Trump administration, these attacks have only gotten more unconscionable and cruel,” the organization wrote in a statement accompanying the petition.

“One of their most consistent targets? Trans student athletes. Time and time again, we see powerful politicians fixate on trans kids and attempt to ban them from playing school sports with their friends.”

Without providing any citations, the ACLU claimed children have been subjected to “invasive and demeaning sex testing” which has allegedly resulted in “all of us [being] less safe and free to be ourselves.”

As of this writing, the petition has secured some 23,500 of the 25,000 signatures it seeks.

Ban wagon

Other notable personalities to appear in the ACLU’s commercial included former WNBA player Sue Bird, current WNBA player Brianna Turner, actress Kara Young, and fashion designer Willy Chavarria.

Following oral arguments Tuesday, a majority of the justices signaled skepticism toward the challenges, suggesting the bans are likely to be upheld. The Court is expected to issue a formal ruling by late spring or summer.
