  Two rule proposals that would ban transgender student-athletes from competing against girls failed to pass advisory-only votes, the WIAA announced.

Proposals to ban transgender student athletes from participating in girls' sports in Washington state have failed to advance in the state legislature. The bills, which were introduced by Republican lawmakers, aimed to restrict transgender girls from competing in sports that align with their gender identity. However, the proposals did not receive a hearing or a vote in the Democratic-controlled legislature, effectively killing the measures for the current session. Advocates for transgender rights celebrated the failure of the bills, arguing that such bans are discriminatory and harmful to transgender youth. Meanwhile, supporters of the proposals expressed disappointment, maintaining that the measures were necessary to ensure fairness in girls' sports.
