Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has signed a law barring transgender college athletes in the state from competing in sports that align with their gender identity
Abbott framed Senate Bill 15, titled the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” as designed to protect female athletes from unfair competition. “Women’s sports are being threatened. Some women are being forced to compete against biological men,” he said during a signing event Thursday. The new law, which takes effect September 1, allows individuals to sue institutions that allow trans athletes to compete on teams that align with their gender identity.
However, there is little research on trans collegiate athletes. A 2017 report in the journal Sports Medicine found “no direct or consistent research” on trans people having an athletic advantage over their cisgender counterparts. Opponents say the restrictions are discriminatory.
