West Virginia lawmakers pass bill requiring student athletes to play on teams based on sex recognized at birth
Fox News
The West Virginia House of Delegates has approved legislation that would require student athletes to present a birth certificate or signed physician's statement verifying their sex matches the one of the single-sex sports league they're seeking to enter.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has already vowed to sue over the bill if it becomes law. On its website, it describes the bill as "discrimination against transgender students." The legislation comes amid a nationwide struggle over the future of women's sports and whether individuals who identify as "transgender" can compete on single-sex teams. Legislation on the issue has nearly doubled this year with 42 bills introduced in 26 states. Republicans say it is a robust response to President Biden's executive order aimed at preventing discrimination on the basis of gender identity, allowing students to compete against those of the sex they identify as.
