The Georgia State Senate Committee for Protecting Women's Sports has adopted five new recommendations aimed at ensuring fair competition for female athletes.

The Georgia State Senate Committee on Education and Youth has adopted recommendations aimed at protecting women's sports by ensuring that only biological females compete in girls' and women's sports categories. This decision follows a series of hearings where testimonies highlighted concerns over fairness, safety, and the integrity of women's sports. The recommendations include measures to define eligibility criteria based on biological sex at birth, aiming to prevent transgender athletes from participating in sports that align with their gender identity rather than their sex assigned at birth. The committee's actions are part of a broader national debate on transgender participation in sports, with proponents arguing for the preservation of competitive equity and safety for female athletes, while critics see it as discriminatory against transgender individuals.
