En an otherwise controversial decision, Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, signed a bill that prohibits transgender girls and women from playing or be part of the girls’ sports teams in public schools across the state.
Directly, the politician mentioned that, in Florida, girls go to girls ‘sports and boys go to boys’ sports, promising to make sure that it is nothing else.
Obviously, such a decision has caused discontent in the groups that defend the rights of transgender people.
Why does Florida prohibit transgender girls from participating in school sports?
The aforementioned law enter into force as of next July 1 and it is stipulated that any transgender student athlete may not be part of the game or teams without first showing the birth certificate stating that you are a woman at birth.
But that is not all, because this proposal will also allow some other student could sue a school if it allows a transgender girl or woman to participate in a team of women by birth.
How many states in the United States prohibit transgender women from participating in school sports?
Total there are nine states of the American Union those who have bills that limit participation of transgender people in sports matters.
What is a transgender person and why is Florida against it in school sports?
They are those people who have a gender expression or an identity opposite to that of the sex with which they were born. I mean, those who feel that their sex does not match their gender identity.
In Florida, it is argued that biological differences, between men and women, could be unfair when competing, thinking of someone who was born a boy competes with girls.
