Transgender girls and women now barred from female sports in Iowa

NPR  

Transgender girls and women now barred from female sports in Iowa Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed a law that bans transgender girls and women in the state from competing in sports according to their gender identity. Sen. Janet Petersen, D-Des Moines, said the law contradicts the way school districts and colleges treat transgender girls and women outside of sports. "We think that this bill directly conflicts with both Title VII and Title IX on the federal level and this is going to open up a giant landslide of lawsuits against different school districts across the state when transgender students remember that they have a federal right to protection under the law."
