The Kansas Senate voted on Wednesday to approve a bill that would ban transgender athletes on girls’ sports teams, according to reports.
"What we heard in testimony is that there are parents and there are student-athletes that want to compete against folks that have that same physical makeup," Sen. Molly Baumgardner, a Republican and chair of the education committee, said, according to KSNT-TV in Topeka, Kansas. The bill has reportedly been a priority for Kansas Republicans. The Family Policy Alliance of Kansas hailed the advancement of the bill as a "victory" for women and girls in the state.More Related News
