Transgender women in Alabama would be prohibited from joining female sports teams in college, under legislation advanced by a house committee. alnews alpolitics wakanews
The Alabama House Education Policy Committee approved legislation that would extend a 2021 ban on transgender athletes in K-12 sports teams to include college teams. The bill states that sports teams “designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to a biological male.” Similarly, a “biological female” would also not be allowed to participate on teams for boys and men. The legislation now moves to the full Alabama House of Representatives.
“Forcing women to compete against biological men would reverse decades of progress that women have made for equal opportunity in athletics,” Republican Rep. Susan DuBose, the bill’s sponsor told the committee. Dubose said “no amount of hormone therapy can undo all those advantages” of being born male.
“We should stop trying to pretend protecting sports is what this is about. You are trying to keep transgender youth isolated and secluded,” Walker said.
