For the third time this year, a South Carolina House committee voted down an attempt to ban transgender girls and women from participating on middle and high school sports teams designated for females.
The South Carolina House Judiciary Committee voted down the bill on an 11-13 vote, with even some Republicans balking at either the bill itself or the process by which it was revived.
