Kay Ivey (R-AL) signed a bill into law on Friday that bans biological males from being able to compete against girls in high school sports.<\/p>\n<p>The law states that \u201cno public K-12 school may participate in, sponsor, or provide coaching staff for interscholastic athletic events at which athletes are allowed to participate in competition against athletes who are of a different biological gender, unless the event specifically includes both biological genders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The law cites the following information:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<ol>\n<li>Physical differences between biological males and biological females have long made separate and sex-specific sports teams important so that female athletes can have equal opportunities to compete in sports.<\/li>\n<li>Physical advantages for biological males relevant to sports include, on average, a larger body size with more skeletal muscle mass, a lower percentage of body fat, and greater maximal delivery of anaerobic and aerobic energy than biological females.<\/li>\n<li>Even at young ages, biological males typically score higher than biological females on cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and speed and agility. These differences become more pronounced during and after puberty as biological males produce higher levels of testosterone. On average, biological male athletes are bigger, faster, stronger, and more physically powerful than their biological female counterparts. This results in a significant sports performance gap between the sexes.<\/li>\n<li>Studies have shown that the benefits that natural testosterone provides to biological male athletes is not significantly diminished through the use of testosterone suppression. Testosterone suppression in biological males does not result in a level playing field between biological male and biological female athletes.<\/li>\n<li>Because of the physical differences between biological males and biological females, having separate athletic teams based on the athletes\u2019 biological sex reduces the chance of injury to biological female athletes and promotes sex equality. It provides opportunities for biological female athletes to compete against their peers rather than against biological male athletes, and allows biological female athletes to compete on a fair playing field for scholarships and other athletic accomplishments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biological females are barred from competing in boy\u2019s high school sports \u201cif there is a female team in [the specific] sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill concludes by stating that \u201ca public K-12 school may never allow a biological male to participate on a female team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Alabama House voted 74-19 for the bill sponsored by Republican Rep. Scott Stadthagen of Hartselle,\u201d The Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/sports-alabama-kay-ivey-legislation-bills-dfad9ec686cf6bbf41af0ef94f95b925\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe Alabama Senate voted 25-5 for the legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stadthagen said: \u201cI want to thank Governor Ivey for her leadership and for protecting the rights of Alabama\u2019s female athletes. Standing up for what is right is not always easy, but it is always the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related:<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
