Mark Brody, Pat McElraft, Diane Wheatley, and Jimmy Dixon on Monday, endeavors \u201cto ensure that women are not forced to compete against men playing on women\u2019s sports teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Citing the \u201cinherent differences between men and women,\u201d the bill goes on to quote studies explaining why biological men have an obvious advantage against women athletically. As the bill says in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21\">\n<p><em>Whereas, the benefits that natural testosterone provides to male athletes are not diminished through the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. A recent study on the impact of such treatments found that policies like those of the International Olympic Committee that require biological males to undergo at least one year of testosterone suppression before competing in women\u2019s sports do not create a level playing field. \u201c[T]he reduction in testosterone levels required by many sports federation transgender policies is insufficient to remove or reduce the male advantage by any meaningful degree.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For example, \u201cthe muscle mass advantage males possess over females, and potentially the performance implications thereof, are not removed by 12 months of testosterone suppression.\u201d Instead, the study concluded that \u201cThe data presented here demonstrates that the male physical performance advantage over females, attributed to superior anthropometric and muscle mass\/strength parameters achieved at puberty, is not removed by the current regimen of testosterone suppression permitting participation of transgender women in female sports categories. Rather, it appears that the male performance advantage is largely retained by transgender women and thus remains substantial.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Twenty-six state legislatures have introduced 41 bills in the first two months of 2021 that would prohibit transgender students from participating on teams that do not correspond with their biological sex, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/legislation-affecting-lgbt-rights-across-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American Civil Liberties Union<\/a> (ACLU).<\/p>\n<p>The language of the North Carolina bill is similar to the bill recently vetoed in South Dakota by Republican Gov. Kristi Noem, who took flak from some conservatives for not signing the bill for which she initially expressed support.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-tucker-and-kristi-noem-clash-after-she-changes-mind-on-signing-bill-protecting-girls-sports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23.698113207547\">\n<p><em>After announcing her intent to sign legislation to protect girls and women\u2019s sports, Republican South Dakota Gov.
