Indiana transgender athlete ban on fast track to governor

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Senate on Tuesday refused to amend a Republican-backed bill that would ban transgender women and girls from participating in school sports that match their gender identity, putting it on the fast track to passing. She added that the bill is “constitutional,” and if it’s challenged, “we will defend it in court.” Ford said defending such a law would be “terrible” for Indiana’s image and a “waste” of taxpayer dollars. “To me, we can have debate on the LGBTQ-plus community, but we do not and should not have a debate on human existence for these kids.” Rep. Michelle Davis, a Republican from Greenwood who authored the bill, said its purpose is to “maintain fair competition in girls sports.” Opponents maintain that the bill is unconstitutional, sexist and bigoted, emphasizing that it targets already vulnerable transgender Hoosier youth. Emma Vosicky, executive director of GenderNexus, an Indianapolis-based social service agency for trans and nonbinary people and their families, emphasized that transgender students in Indiana already participate in school sports “without issue.” The proposal would prohibit K-12 students who were born male but who identify as female from participating in a sport or on an athletic team that is designated for women or girls.
