Adaleia Cross, a West Virginia teen, has become a prominent figure in the “Save Women’s Sports” movement after coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment by a trans athlete in her school’s locker room.

Background

Cross’s story gained attention after she shared her experience in an interview with Fox News Digital. She alleged that the trans athlete, who was in seventh grade at the time, sexually harassed her in the girls’ locker room during the 2022-23 school year. Cross was in eighth grade.

The ACLU has denied the allegations, stating that the trans athlete and her mother deny the claims and that the school district investigated and found them to be unsubstantiated. However, Cross’s family and their attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) maintain that the allegations are true and that the school district failed to take adequate action.

Support and Backlash

Cross has received support from many in her community, including teachers and administrators at her school. However, she has also faced backlash and harassment from a small but vocal group of peers. Cross stated that she has lost friends and faced threats and hate due to her advocacy for women’s sports.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Cross remains committed to her cause. She believes that women’s sports should be protected and that biological males should not be allowed to compete in female categories. The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of this position, stating that schools may base eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports on biological sex.
