"Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre Clash Over Transgender Policies"

Linda Blade, a sport performance professional, praises Premier Danielle Smith for her measured approach to Alberta's new gender identity guidelines, particularly in addressing the impact of biological males who identify as women on women's sports. Blade supports Smith's stance on creating an open category for both biological males and females while retaining a women's only division for biological women, citing evidence of the competitive advantage transgender female athletes have over women and girls. Blade criticizes Canadian sports policy bureaucrats for straying from fairness and science, and commends Smith for being the adult in the room amidst the controversy.
