Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed a law that restricts transgender students from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity.
Texas is the eighth state -- and the largest -- to pass legislation this year addressing transgender athletes' access to sports. South Dakota also enacted restrictions, but did so through executive order. Idaho passed similar legislation in 2020, but it has since been blocked in federal court.
The Texas law, known as HB25, passed in the state's third special session. It allows student-athletes to participate only in the interscholastic sports that correspond with the sex listed on their "official birth certificate," which is defined as the document issued "at or near the time of the student's birth."
A student-assigned female at birth may participate in boys' sports only if a corresponding girls' sport is not available, such as football and baseball.
Texas joins Alabama in affecting not just transgender girls' ability to participate in girls' sports, but also transgender boys' ability to participate in boys' sports.
"My heart is breaking all over again for our communities in Texas who have been tirelessly and fiercely fighting anti-transgender legislation session after session," said Anne Lieberman, director of policy and programs at Athlete Ally. "HB25 is yet another callous example of lawmakers passing legislation that bullies and targets kids who just want to play sports with their friends."

“Shitshow garbage. Making a boy manhandle a girl.”
Yeah but on the bright side it was a great opportunity to cop a feel. :-)
You never saw these specimens.
In highschool, playing basketball, we would often make an errant pass and dive for it. By some strange coincidence, that pass was always near the opposing cheerleaders sitting on the sidelines.
They should have their own teams.
So they want to refute the truth of their genetic inheritance yet still use its advantages to beat up girls (mostly, very few sports fake males can compete in against natural males).
I just got a week’s time-out on twatter because I expressed the medical opinion that these people are seriously delusional, mentally ill, in need of medication and counseling, NOT hormones and surgery and forcing the 99.99999% of the world’s population to accept their disorder as “normal” or else.
Funny, I was booted off fakebook for somewhat the same comment back in June (”pride” month), stating I wasn’t a celebrant of this class of disorder (LGBTQP) masquerading as an inborn condition, but that it is, rather, a lifestyle/behavioral choice.
Speaking truth to the power-mad has always been my forte.
I played basketball and never thought about that one.
Talk about a wasted youth.
I had a post blocked on Facebook when I mentioned that the nazis allowed a man to run as a woman in the 1936 Olympics.
Zuck loves his mentally ill trannies, an anyone who does not tow the pro-tranny line is given 30 days in FB jail.
A law that actually follows the Science?
What is this World coming to?
Can’t they just have a tranny class of track, field, etc.? I’m sure they could fill a stadium with tranny sports enthusiasts. Sort of like freak shows at the midway.
Yo no hablo.
“Trans” or “tranny” is part of your car.
Better yet, how many white and Asian players does the NBA have?
How many white or Jewish or Asian cornerbacks are there in the NFL?
We need some equity lawsuits here.
SO they are not RESTRICTED from playing sports, like the lying headline suggests, but if you have a penis you are a boy, and if you have a vagina you are a girl.
“A student-assigned female at birth may participate in boys’ sports only if a corresponding girls’ sport is not available, such as football and baseball.”
Note that they don’t use the pertinent example of boys taking over girls teams by pretending to be girls.

Partisan Media Shill alert.
God bless Governor Abbott! In a sane country these laws would not be necessary, but the inmates are running the asylum now.
Nobody is stopping kids from playing sports with their friends. But high school athletics often are a route for poor kids to get into college via athletic scholarships. It’s no longer just about the game itself; futures are at stake. And many girls who trained hard and long will lose out all because a boy wants to pretend he’s a girl.
“.... But high school athletics often are a route for poor kids to get into college via athletic scholarships. It’s no longer just about the game itself; futures are at stake. “
True, but if winning an athletic scholarship is the best hope then the education system has totally failed them.
This law doesn’t go nearly far enough. It needs to address the core issue, that “Transgenderism” is a legal fiction and won’t be recognized in the State of Texas. EVerything else would fall into place.
His name was Henrich (Dorah) Ratjen. If you google and look for his police photos you will see him in a dress, and a naked police photo of him. You can tell he is no woman.
Every time I post this on Facebook it is removed by Zuck’s Gestapo.
