"If you're a biological male, you are not going to be competing in women's and girl's [sic] sports in Alabama. It's about fairness, plain and simple.”

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, commenting on the bill she signed into law on Tuesday, May 30, that will make it illegal for public higher education institutions to allow transgender people to participate in sports that do not correspond with the gender they were assigned at birth. This bill is in addition to the 2021 law that requires athletes to participate in sports that align with their biological gender throughout the K-12 level. (NPR — May 31, 2023)
