Alabama Bans Transgender Women From Collegiate Athletics

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation banning transgender women from playing on female sports teams in college.
The legislation expands the state's existing ban on transgender athletes on K-12 sports teams to include college teams.
Students assigned one sex at birth would be prohibited from playing under a different gender identity, even after undergoing hormone treatment.
At least 20 states have now imposed restrictions on transgender athletes at the K-12 or collegiate level, or both.
Supporters say transgender women have an unfair advantage in competition, while opponents say the bills are about shaming transgender people and are rooted in discrimination and politics.
