Texas’ transgender student athletes will be restricted from playing on K-12 school sports teams that align with their gender identity under a bill Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law Monday.

House Bill 25, authored by state Rep. Valoree Swanson, R-Spring, will require student athletes who compete in interscholastic competition to play on sports teams that correspond with the sex listed on their birth certificate at or near their time of birth. It is set to go into effect Jan. 18.

The legislation goes further than current rules from the University Interscholastic League, which governs school sports in Texas. Under current UIL rules, a student’s gender is determined by their birth certificate. But UIL also accepts legally modified birth certificates in which someone may have had their sex changed to align with their gender identity.....

Ricardo Martinez, CEO of Equality Texas, opposed the bill and said the organization’s most immediate focus is providing healing to transgender children and advocates who have returned session after session to speak out against anti-transgender legislation

2. This is heartbreaking. 💔

I feel so sad and angry for all the trans kids who are going to be harmed by this. All because of stupid, ignorant adults who are too lazy and uncaring to even try to understand something that's outside their personal experience.

5. The end game, barring a full fascist national takeover where they can just round them up and execute

them, is to drive as many trans kids and adults to suicide. Any non trans LGBQ who do so as well are a bonus.
