After more than ten hours of debate, the Texas House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday night requiring transgender public school athletes to compete on teams that match their birth gender, not the gender they identify with. The controversial bill, which passed with a 76-54 vote, now goes to the state Senate.
Introduced by Representative Valoree Swanson, the measure restricts the athletes to playing on teams that match the biological sex listed on an official birth certificate issued at or close to the time of the student's birth. A modified birth certificate would only be accepted if it had been changed "to correct a clerical error," the bill states....
Critics called the legislation an "immoral and hateful bill" that attacks transgender people, and pushed back on the claims of an uptick in requests for action by the UIL, saying there haven't been any complaints.

Agree.
Controversial??
Controversial. . .
Actually they need to just forbid trannies on girls teams. Because any girl who is getting “treatment” because she thinks she’s a boy will have an unfair advantage over the bio-girls.
Anything the DemonRats are against is “controversial”. This is just common sense.
No kid under 18 ought to be allowed to make that kind of decision ..and neither should parents.
Let kids know where you stand..on the right side.. and hold the line!
Just create a league/division for “indeterminate” gender status. Revive the Atlanta Olympics mascot known as “whatizzit” and let them try to filed teams and play amongst themselves. It will die out pretty quickly.
I so despise the media anymore, and have for quite sometime.
The picture at the site is scary. Only one of the three people in the picture is identified, and no party identification is given, but for those who can see, no label is needed. An exorcism, however, may be.
Normalcy is controversial and despised by the depraved.
Nothing controversial about that at all. It supports women in women’s sports.
A newborn is either male or female, and it's quite easy to see the difference.
Sex, not gender.
Sheesh.
Sex is biological.
Gender is subjective.
See BS. Shoddy journalism is rampant..
That word again. Anything showing resistance to the corporo/scialist/fascist/woke "left" is controversial, even if most people think it is a common sense measure.
When Liberal Media use the word “critics” it means “RADICAL MARXIST DEMOCRATS”.
Kudo’s to Representative Valoree Swanson and the 76 representatives that voted for this common sense anti perv bill.
It’s way past time for all of us to raise hell with our legislators to QUIT giving ANY credibility to Marxist Democrats and STAND UP for conservative issues with a steel spine.
The woman you say needs an exorcism is the one that pushed the bill to stop men from playing against girls.
I think creating a new “league” for these mentally ill youngsters will be of great benefit.
We could call it the Mentally Ill Sports Society.
It’s controversial only to people who have definite mental problems.
