House passes bill restricting transgender athletes from women’s sports
Advocacy groups supporting transgender students immediately criticized the vote as an attack and warned of a potential Senate vote on the measure as soon as next week.
“All students deserve to play sports alongside their peers,” said Fatima Goss Graves, president of the National Women’s Law Center. “For the students and community harmed by this bill, for everyone watching the cruel and dehumanizing campaign to diminish transgender young people, we are advocating for you and not giving up on protecting your humanity.”
