Alabama has become the latest conservative US state to ban transgender girls from playing on female school sports teams.
On Friday, the office of Governor Kay Ivey said the Republican had signed legislation which said a public K-12 school “may never allow a biological male to participate on a female team”.
Supporters of the bill, HB 391, say transgender girls are bigger and faster and have an unfair advantage. Opponents argue the bills are rooted in discrimination and fear and violate federal law barring sex discrimination in education.
This insanity has to end, good for Alabama.
