North Dakota Governor Signs Law Banning Transgender Women From Female Sports
- North Dakota's Republican governor Doug Burgum signed two bills into law banning transgender girls and women from competing in K-12 and college women's sports.
- The bills prohibit transgender athletes from joining women's sports teams and were passed by veto-proof majorities in the state legislature.
- North Dakota now joins 19 other states that have imposed some form of restriction on transgender athletes.
- The ban comes despite no recorded instances of transgender athletes causing issues in women's sports in North Dakota in recent years.
- The Biden administration has proposed a rule prohibiting outright bans on transgender athletes.
