Republicans in Minnesota are pushing for a bill that would ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports, in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order. A rally is scheduled at the Capitol on Monday ahead of a House vote on the proposal. The bill, known as the “Preserving Girls’ Sports Act”, states that only female students may participate in girls’ sports based on biological genetics. The bill faces opposition from the Minnesota Queer Legislators Caucus and House DFL. The NCAA has also implemented a policy limiting competition in women’s sports to student-athletes assigned female at birth, prompting controversy and debate. The issue of transgender athletes in sports has become a campaign issue and a topic of national conversation. The bill’s supporters argue that it is necessary to maintain fairness in sports, while opponents believe it discriminates against transgender individuals. The bill faces an uphill battle to become law, as it goes against the Minnesota High School League’s decision not to comply with Trump’s executive order. The issue is complex and contentious, with implications for transgender rights and equality in sports. The outcome of the House vote will have significant implications for the future of transgender athletes in Minnesota.
