The state Senate's Special Committee on the Protection of Women's Sports unanimously approved several recommendations.
Georgia lawmakers are pushing for new legislation that would restrict transgender girls from participating in women's sports at both high school and college levels. The proposed bill, which has passed the Georgia House with a vote of 92-78, aims to ensure that only athletes whose biological sex at birth is female can compete in sports designated for girls and women. This move comes amidst a broader national debate on transgender participation in sports, with proponents arguing it ensures fairness and safety in athletic competitions, while opponents claim it discriminates against transgender students. The bill now awaits consideration in the Georgia Senate. If passed, it would align Georgia with several other states that have enacted similar restrictions, reflecting ongoing cultural and political tensions over transgender rights in sports.
