'Women's sports have real challenges, none of which have anything to do with transgender girls.'
Earlier this week, Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a discriminatory bill that bans trans girls from female school sports, forcing them to play on teams that don't correspond with their gender identity. The ban applies to all teams that are"sponsored or authorized" by school districts or open-enrollment charter school and will take effect on January 18.
O'Hara added,"Women's sports have real challenges, none of which have anything to do with transgender girls." This new legislation follows similar Republican-led campaigns, starting with Idaho's 2020 law barring trans women from competing in women's sports in public schools or colleges. And while the implementation of the Idaho ban is currently being blocked by a federal court, other states including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee and West Virginia have enacted near-identical laws. Additionally, South Dakota's governor has enacted another ban via executive order.
