'Advocates for trans youth worry that Friess’s bill could have harmful impacts on trans youth in the state even though it stalled in committee.' | byadamrhodes
At least 119 bills restricting the participation of trans youth in organized sports have been introduced in statehouses across the country since January 2021. Most of them were voted down, or, like one introduced in the Illinois State Assembly by a downstate representative last year, failed to advance by the end of the legislative session. But nearly a dozen other states have passed such laws.
On March 3, Iowa’s Republican governor Kim Reynolds signed the latest bill that would bar transgender student athletes from participating in sports that comport with their gender identities as opposed to their sex assigned at birth. NBCthat the bill, which bars trans women and girls from competing on female sports teams “from kindergarten through college,” is the 11th such bill passed in the United States.
State representative David Friess—a Republican who represents Red Bud and surrounding areas—filed a billto amend the state’s Interscholastic Athletic Organization Act to require that school sports be segregated by gender, and force students to compete as their biological sex, even if it does not comport with their gender identity. The bill would have also required a written statement stating a student’s biological sex and whether they had been taking any “performance enhancing drugs.
