A Republican lawmaker in Michigan has unveiled legislation that would require transgender student athletes to play on teams that correspond to their gender as “identified at birth,” mirroring bills proposed in 20 other states.
Introduced by GOP state Senator Lana Theis on Wednesday, the measure will require that public school sports programs designate male and female teams, allowing student athletes to compete only on teams that align with their “biological sex.”
“Very simply, my bill will ensure that, in school sports in Michigan, student athletes will compete against one another according to their biological sex – females against females, and males against males,” Theis said in a statement, lamenting that federal civil rights laws ensuring that students can compete “on a level playing field” had been eroded.
