South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signs bill that will ban transgender girls and college-age women from playing in school sports leagues that match their gender identity.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signs a bill Thursday, Feb. 3, 2022, at the state Capitol in Pierre, S.D., that will ban transgender women and girls from playing in school sports leagues that match their gender identity.
The Republican governor touted the ban at a bill signing ceremony in the Capitol, telling reporters: “We will ensure that we have fairness and a level playing field for female athletes here in the state of South Dakota, at the K-12 level and at the university level.” "At a time when young people are facing an unprecedented need for support, it is devastating to see politicians instead invent new ways to exclude them,” said Sam Ames, the director of advocacy at The Trevor Project, which advocates for transgender youth.
