LGBTQ advocates and democrats are raising questions on the legality of a ban on transgender women and girls from playing on female school sports.
The GOP-backed ban on transgender students playing women and girls' school sports is awaiting Gov. Ron DeSantis's signature. Democrats and LGBTQ advocates say the move could result in lawsuits.
Governors in six states have already signed similar bans into law, and a seventh state has similar restrictions via executive order. Idaho's law is already facing a challenge. Proponents of the ban say people assigned male at birth have a physical advantage over those assigned female at birth. Meanwhile, Democrats and LGBTQ advocates like Equality Florida's Gina Duncan say the ban is harmful to young transgender people.
