Democratic Rep. Mary Mascher of Iowa City said banning transgender girls and women from participating in girls or womens sports is clearly discriminatory. “This bill sends a terrible message to our young people and all transgender girls and women in this state. It is state sanctioned bullying,” she said,
Republicans said transgender girls have an unfair advantage because they were born as stronger males and those born as girls will be denied places on the team or the podium if playing against transgender girls.
Utah is unlikely to join other 11 states that have recently enacted bans on trans girls wanting to compete in school sports leagues that correspond with their gender identity.
Though they preferred it to an outright ban, LGBTQ advocates worried transgender kids required to appear before the panel would feel targeted. Social conservatives, backed by a much larger contingent of Republican lawmakers, said it didn't go far enough to protect girls sports.
