Voters in 2 Democratic strongholds could ban transgender girls from girls school sports - KTAR
KALAMA, Wash. (AP) — Colorado and Washington are reliably Democratic states where elected officials have rejected moves to ban transgender women and girls Voters in Colorado and Washington are considering a ban on transgender girls from girls school sports in both states. This comes as some Democratic leaders are reconsidering their approach to transgender issues, particularly sports. The proposed ban is seen as a way to protect women and girls and separate spaces for them, a concern that has gained momentum since President Donald Trump has taken steps to roll back transgender rights. A June poll from Quinnipiac University found that about 7 in 10 registered voters believe transgender women and girl should not be allowed to play on female sports teams. The argument for the ban is not clear on whether transgender women or girls have a competitive advantage due to factors such as the age of the athlete, the sport, whether the athlete went through male puberty and how long they've received hormone therapy. Critics argue that excluding transgender girls is unfair.
