West Virginia Governor Endorses Controversial 'Women’s Bill of Rights'

The legislation, criticized as anti-transgender, seeks to define sex-based terms and restrict access to women's spaces and sports.

West Virginia Republican Gov. Jim Justice has endorsed a 'Women’s Bill of Rights', which is being criticized as anti-transgender legislation.
The bill seeks to define sex-based terms, provide 'separate single-sex environments' based on 'biology', and ensure the accuracy of public data collection.
The legislation, if passed, would keep transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports and using women’s facilities.
Former NCAA Division 1 swimmer Riley Gaines, who has been vocal about her opposition to transgender athletes in women's sports, supports the bill.
Similar bills have been enacted in other Republican-controlled states like Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Tennessee.
