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.
