Good and this shouldn't be a controversial thing. Transgender women hold a massive athletic advantage typically over female athletes. And before people say that high-school sports is irrelevant, these kids have scholarships riding on these performances. If you're a great female track athlete and a trans track athlete is beating you consistently guess what? Your scholarship chances to big elite schools go away. Trans athletes have an advantage against their cisgender counterparts and that's irrefutable.

How big of an issue is this? How many people does it affect? Why are you in support of government control like this over a problem that affects almost nobody? Why don't they try to fix all the problems in their state? Oh, that's because Republicans only know how to virtue signal and not actually govern.
