Republican lawmakers in Pa.’s General Assembly put forth a proposal to stop transgender girls from competing in school sports, making Pa. at least the 10th state to propose barring some young athletes from interscholastic competition.
Rep. Mary Isaacson of Philadelphia, a Democrat on the committee, said athletes' eligibility should be addressed by their sports' governing bodies.
The NCAA has adopted a sport-by-sport approach for transgender athletes, bringing the organization in line with the U.S. and International Olympic Committees. The ruling follows controversy over Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer at Penn who is currently breaking records competing with women after spending her first three years at the school competing with men.
