On 3/11/21 at 11:50 AM EST
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves signed the first state bill in the U.S. this year to ban transgender athletes from female sports teams on Thursday.
The legislation calls on K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities, in the state to designate all sports teams for men and boys, women and girls or coed, stating that athletic teams or sports designated for females, women or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex.
Senate Bill 2536 will effectively prohibit transgender students who identify as women from competing on sports teams designated for that gender.
