Push to ban transnry athletes from women’s sports in Georgia

Back story:

At least 25 for the most part Republican States have passed laws to limit transient women from participating in college and high school sports, according to Movement Advancement Project, a gay rights group.

In 2022, legislators approved a law that allows the Georgia High School Association to regulate transient women’s participation in sports. The association, mostly composed of public colleges, then banned the participation of transient women in sporting events that it sponsors.

Since then, many conservative leaders have been pushing for further action that requires athletes to participate in teams that are in line with their biological sex at birth.

Last week, Senat’s Bill 1, introduced by Republican Senator Greg Dolezal of Cumming, went out of the committee. The bill would ban transnry girls and women from competing in female sports at any publicly funded institution, including K-12 schools and state universities.

What they say:

Dolezal said the bill ensures a fair playing field for athletes.

“This summer, I had the privilege to serve as chairman of the Georgia Senate Special Committee on the protection of women’s sports,” Dolezal said in a statement when he introduced the bill. “As the father of three daughters, I take this question to the heart. Female athletes have worked tirelessly to earn their place in competition and they deserve equal conditions.. General meeting and deliver the protective female athletes deserve.”

Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who has been obvious about the issue, announced his approval of the bill.

“Biological men do not belong in women’s sports, period,” said LT. Governor Burt Jones. “This is common sense to everyone except the most radical liberals in Georgia. The Senate has always led the way to protect women’s sports and with the Senate’s Bill 1, we will continue with washing never in the fight to protect our sisters and our daughters participating on an equal footing in Georgia sports.

The other side:

Democratic Senator Kim Jackson called SB1 a smoke screen that covered the real question that hindered girls’ sports – a lack of resources.

“Our transparents are farthest from the problem,” she said.

SB 41 would require girls and boys’ sports teams to receive “comparable and similar foundations”, equipment, facility access, supplies and coaching compensation.

“If we want a real conversation about real ‘righteousness’ and ‘security’ in girls ‘sports, let’s talk about how girls’ teams are made to practice late at night or early in the morning when it’s still dark outside. Let Us talk about how girls’ football coach who works twice as long (an average Taking the job, ”Jackson said.

What is the next one:

The house’s speaker John Burns announces his legislation at a press conference at 1 p.m. 13 Tuesday.

Senate’s Bill 1 will be considered in comparison with the legislation proposed by Burns.

Senate’s Bill 41 remains waiting for the Senate’s Education and Youth Committee.
