Oklahoma ກາຍເປັນລັດທີ 13 ເພື່ອຈໍາກັດການເຂົ້າເຖິງກິລາສໍາລັບນັກຮຽນທີ່ປ່ຽນເພດ

Topline

Oklahoma is now the thirteenth state to restrict transgender women and girls’ participation in school sports, after Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed the “Save Women’s Sports Act” on Wednesday— and other state legislatures are considering following suit.

ຂໍ້ເທັດຈິງສໍາຄັນ

The law prohibits transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams in college and in high school.

At a bill-signing ceremony, Stitt said he was “protecting women’s sports” by “ensuring a level playing field for female athletes,” according to ຂ່າວ NBC.

Stitt said “girls should compete against girls” and “boys should compete against boys,” according to the ກົດທີ່ກ່ຽວຂ້ອງ.

The bill passed the Oklahoma House and Senate last week.

ຄວາມເປັນມາຫຼັກ

The Oklahoma law follows a flurry of measures targeting transgender students’ ability to participate in sports introduced by Republican-led legislatures across the country. A dozen other states have already enacted bans, according to NBC, including Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. Utah became the most recent state to do so last week, when state lawmakers overrode Republican Gov. Spencer Cox’s veto of a bill banning transgender students’ participation in girls’ sports. The Oklahoma legislation also comes two days after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) ລົງລາຍເຊັນ known by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which prohibits “classroom instruction” involving “sexual orientation or gender identity” through the third grade, and bars any conversations about those topics for older students if they’re conducted “in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate.”

The laws have sparked backlash from civil rights groups, including the Human Rights Campaign, which said ໃນຄໍາຖະແຫຼງທີ່ Oklahoma’s bill will exclude “all transgender girls from participating in school athletics, increasing their isolation and denying them the social, physical and emotional benefits of sports. Banning transgender girls’ participation “solves nothing” and “causes great harm,” said the organization, which is the largest LGBTQ advocacy group in the U.S.

ສິ່ງທີ່ຄວນສັງເກດເບິ່ງ

Other states to follow. A host of state legislatures are considering similar legislation restricting transgender students’ access to sports, including in Arizona, where the House recently passed an anti-transgender sports bill, and in Kansas, where the state Senate this week passed a bill banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.
