Georgia’s High School Athletic Association is currently prohibiting transgender students from participating in sport based on their gender identity; 25 other states have laws that limit sports participation by transatletes.
Democratic Rep. Karla Drenner of Avondale Estates said that the bill “calculated, dangerous, deeply discriminatory piece is that goes much further than the empire of athletics.”
“Let’s call this the deletion of Transgender Georgians act today,” said Drenner, who was the first openly LGBTQ+ member of the legislative power when she was chosen in 2000.
