Jenner, who recently announced her run for California governor, has been widely criticised over her socially conservative views, including her previous opposition to gay marriage. Her comments on transgender athletes come just days after the Florida House passed a bill that would ban transgender students from participating in girls and women’s scholastic sports. “This discriminatory bill is harmful and simply unnecessary; transgender youth have been playing sports consistent with their gender identity for years without incident on the state, collegiate and professional level,” Cathryn Oakley, Human Rights Campaign State Legislative Director and Senior Counsel, said in a statement. “This bill is based in fear, not fact, and pushed by legislators who have been fed misinformation by anti-LGBTQ extremists who don’t care about women’s sports or Floridians – they care about dismantling equality and have no compunction about transgender youth being harmed in the process

A bill to restrict transgender girls and women from playing female sports is on its way to Gov. Jim Justice.
The West Virginia House of Delegates voted to accept the Senate s version of HB 3293 on Friday evening.
The upper chamber s version gives female student athletes, from middle school to college, the option to sue their county board of education, or their state higher education institution, if they feel there s been a violation of this bill by having to play with or against a transgender girl or woman.
If the transgender student is a minor, the identity of that student would remain private and anonymous.
