Proposals to ban transgender student-athletes from girls' sports in Washington fail

Proposals to ban transgender student athletes from participating in girls' sports in Washington state have failed to advance in the state legislature.

Meanwhile, supporters of the proposals expressed disappointment, maintaining that the measures were necessary to ensure fairness in girls' sports.
