transgender women from playing on female sports teams in college, becoming
the latest state to place restrictions on transgender athletes.
The legislation expands the state's existing 2021 ban on transgender
athletes on K-12 sports teams to include college teams. Students assigned
one sex at birth would be prohibited from playing under a different gender
identity, even after undergoing hormone treatment.
"Look, if you are a biological male, you are not going to be competing in
women's and girls' sports in Alabama. It's about fairness, plain and
simple," Ivey said in a statement.
The bill is part of a wave of restrictions on transgender people being
pushed in conservative states. According to the Movement Advancement
Project, a nonprofit LGBTQ think tank, 21 states have bans on transgender
athletes competing in sports consistent with their gender identities.
While supporters say transgender women have an unfair advantage in
competition, opponents say the bills are about shaming transgender people
and are rooted in discrimination and politics.
Carmarion D. Anderson-Harvey, Alabama state director of the Human Rights
Campaign, an advocacy group for LGBTQ+ people, said the legislation is
part of a "systematic attack against LGBTQ+ people" in Alabama and
elsewhere.
"In just two years, she and extremist lawmakers in Alabama have passed
four anti-LGBTQ+ bills. From dictating what bathrooms we can use to
blatantly ignoring the actual problems in women's sports, these
politicians are making Alabama an increasingly hostile place for
transgender people and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole," Anderson-Harvey
said.
Alabama lawmakers approved bills restricting bathroom and locker room
usage and a ban on the use of gender-affirming hormones and puberty
blockers to treat transgender minors. A judge has temporarily blocked the
medication ban from taking effect while a court challenge goes forward.
The latest sports bill was approved with lopsided support in both
chambers, passing 26-4 in the Alabama Senate and 83-5 in the House of
Representatives. More than a dozen House members abstained from the vote.
Iowa and South Dakota enacted similar bans last year. Earlier this month,
the Missouri legislature also passed a bill banning transgender athletes
from competing in girls' and women's teams, and the governor is expected
to sign it.
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled against West Virginia's own such ban
and in favor of a 12-year-old transgender girl who sought to compete on
her middle school's cross country team.
