June 15, 2023

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation Thursday that will prohibit transgender women from competing in women's collegiate athletics.

The measure adds to a 2021 Texas law that requires public school teams through high school "to be designated by students’ sex assigned at birth."

Senate Bill 15, called the "Save Women’s Sports Act," says intercollegiate athletes must participate on teams based on their biological sex or what is "correctly" on the student’s birth certificate.
