Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed into law a bill that prohibits transgender females from participating in girls high school sports and women's college athletics. More on the decision:
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed into law Thursday a bill that prohibits transgender girls and women from participating in girls' high school sports and women's college athletics, rejecting opponents' argument that she would harm vulnerable children to solve a nonexistent problem.
"Iowa girls today and every generation to come will be able to pursue the things they love to the best of their abilities," Erzen said."Whether that's chasing titles, records, scholarships or earning a starting position on a team. No girl will be sidelined in their own sport." "Because the legislation would go into effect as soon as the governor signs it, she is showing once again that she's more interested in scoring political points than caring about the impact of legislation on some of the most marginalized kids in our society," said Senate Democratic Leader Zach Wahls.
Des Moines Public Schools spokesman Phil Roeder said it's not immediately clear how schools are expected to implement the law. The district's lobbyist opposed the bill because it believes the legislation discriminates against transgender girls and women and the district is concerned it conflicts with federal anti-discrimination laws.
