A bill prohibiting transgender girls from participating on a girls sports team passed out of an Indiana House committee. From the Post-Tribune.
Davis presented the bill before the House Education Committee Monday sharing that “she was one of the better players” on her high school and travel basketball teams, so she would play with a group of boys her age who did not make their respective basketball teams.
Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, asked Davis to define the threat to the integrity of Indiana sports. Davis said the threat is “not beginning on an equal playing field.” “How can anyone say there’s no physical advantage to this situation and how is this in any way, shape or form fair to our biological females,” Schiffli said.
“This bill seeks to solve a problem where one does not exist and demonizes trans children unnecessarily. Proponents of this bill have cherry-picked examples of elite athletes who are finding success in their sports while being trans. Of course people who compete occasionally win, but we have yet to see any organized set of examples that trans people are taking over sports en mass and preventing girls who are not transgender from being able to compete,” Malone said.
