Texas bans transgender women, girls from collegiate athletics
BY BROOKE MIGDON - 06/15/23 6:13 PM ET
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed legislation Thursday prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in collegiate athletics, building on a 2021 law that requires public school sports teams through high school to be designated by students’ sex assigned at birth.
Texas’s Senate Bill 15, also known as the state’s “Save Women’s Sports Act,” mandates that intercollegiate athletes participate only on sports teams matching their “biological sex,” which the legislation defines as that which is “correctly” stated on a student’s original birth certificate.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which oversees post-secondary education in the state, has been tasked with drafting and adopting rules that ensure compliance with state and federal laws regarding the confidentiality of student health and medical information.
The new law, which will take effect in September, makes it simpler for college students in Texas to sue their schools if they continue allowing transgender athletes to participate on sports teams that do not match their gender identity.

she is female has to participate only in boys' sports, when she wins, the guys will have been beaten by a girl. That will go over so well.
