Bill Requiring Virginia Students To Play On Teams Based On Biological Sex Approved

(Richmond)-In Richmond, a bill that would require student-athletes in Virginia to compete on teams based on their biological sex is moving forward. With six votes, House Bill 1387 passed a subcommittee yesterday. The proposed bill would prevent transgender students from competing in sports that match their gender identities. If passed, it would affect children in interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural, or club athletic teams or sports sponsored by a public elementary, middle and high schools, and colleges.
