An apparel company focused on advocating for biological females in sports has issued a bold challenge to Nike, criticizing the sports giant for its stance on the participation of transgender athletes. The company, XX-XY Athletics, launched a striking advertisement on October 10, coinciding with “XX Day,” a reference to the chromosomes that biological females possess.
The ad features over ten women of varying ages delivering a direct and passionate message to Nike. The women express their frustration, questioning why a prominent brand like Nike has chosen to remain silent on issues affecting biological females in sports.
“Dear Nike,” they start, with a collective tone of urgency. “Why won’t you stand up for me?” they ask, challenging the company’s commitment to supporting women and girls in athletics.
The message emphasizes that the inclusion of transgender athletes in female sports is perceived as a threat to opportunities for biological females. The women assert that this situation is not only unfair but also poses significant risks to their rights and future.
The ad further critiques Nike’s advocacy for social justice, questioning why the brand prioritizes the rights of transgender individuals over those of biological females. “With a big platform comes an even bigger responsibility,” the women urge, calling on Nike to take a stand.
This advertisement follows news of a statewide walkout organized by high school students in New York, protesting the inclusion of transgender athletes in girls’ sports. Currently, 26 states have enacted regulations that restrict transgender individuals from competing in sports that align with their gender identity.
As the conversation around transgender inclusion in athletics continues to grow, XX-XY Athletics is positioning itself as a vocal advocate for biological females, urging brands like Nike to reconsider their stance and support women’s rights in sports.
