The bill’s placement on Tuesday’s Major State calendar was a sign of far-right pressure to pass the bill despite the fact that discrimination against the transgender community does not have the support of the majority of voters, including Republicans. In a further example of the baffling rationale behind the discriminatory bill, this bill would in practice, actually force transgender boys to play with cisgender girls - accomplishing the opposite of the proponents’ stated goals, in the same way that the bathroom bill would have forced transgender men to share restrooms with cisgender women. Further, the NCAA opposes efforts to limit the participation of transgender students.

Collegiate and professional sports organizations have had trans-inclusive policies for years without incident. In Texas, as in other states considering these bills, legislators across the country could not provide examples of trans sports issues in their states to attempt to justify these attacks on transgender youth, laying bare the reality that they are fueled by discrimination and not supported by fact. Since 2017, when the legislature considered a bathroom bill targeting transgender people, the Human Rights Campaign has had full-time staff on the ground in Texas, working in close partnership with ally organizations like the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), Texas Freedom Network, Lambda Legal, Equality Texas, and the ACLU of Texas.
