Georgia high school athletic group bans transgender athletes

The main athletic association for Georgia high schools voted Wednesday to ban transgender boys and girls from playing on the school sports teams matching their gender identity, saying instead that students must play on teams that match the sex listed on their birth certificates at birth. It will take effect for the next school year, spokesperson Steve Figueroa said.
