(Worthy News) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign a bill that would ban transgender students from participating in school sports that correspond with their gender identity.
The law, known as House Bill 25, would require students to participate on sports teams that correspond with the gender on their birth certificate at the time of birth. Modified birth certificates would not be honored.
The bill was approved by state lawmakers over the weekend, and it makes Texas poised to become the latest red state to pass legislation aimed at curtailing transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
