Tuberville did not name specific instances of “unsafe” situations in womens’ sports, but referred to “problems in locker rooms” and said he’s heard an “uproar” from parents who had concerns about young girls being able to compete fairly in women’s sports.was unable to confirm lawmakers’ claims that schools across Alabama had issues accommodating transgender and nonbinary students who wanted to use bathrooms or locker rooms that aligned with their preferred identity.
Tuberville also claimed that 28 national women’s sporting events were won by “biological boys” in the last few years.
