Arizona Interscholastic Association testified that out of 170,000 high school athletes there have been just 16 requests by transgender individuals to compete.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Saying boys are inherently stronger, a House panel voted Wednesday to ban anyone born male from competing in sports for girls, regardless of whether they have undergone transition surgery and hormone replacement.
The same panel on Wednesday also approved — and by the same margin — SB 1138. It outright forbids physicians from performing “irreversible gender reassignment surgeries” on anyone younger than 18.He had sought to make it illegal for health-care professionals to provide any gender transition procedures to minors.
“Volleyball nets for girls are more than 7 inches lower than for boys,” said Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy. And Jadis Argiope, a transgender woman, said she agrees, saying that the biological differences between those born male and those born female cannot be ignored despite what she called the “marketing” by the trans community.One issue is how all of this would get enforced.
On the tail end, the legislation would allow any student who has suffered a “direct or indirect” harm because a school allowed a transgender girl to participate can sue the school for damages.
