Gabbard bill would block transgender women college athletes
December 14, 2020 GMT
HILO, Hawaii (AP) U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii has sponsored legislation that would prevent transgender athletes from participating in women’s collegiate athletics.
The legislation could halt federal funds to organizations allowing transgender or nonbinary athletes to participate in athletic programs that do not match their “biological sex at birth,” The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Saturday.
Transgender describes people whose gender identity does not match the sex they were identified as having at birth. Nonbinary people are those whose gender identity is not strictly male or female, which is not synonymous with transgender.
