Introduced by GOP Rep. Nancy Barto, the measure would apply to elementary and high schools, as well as colleges and universities, but only to female teams.
PHOENIX — Transgender girls and women would be barred from participating in sports on the team that aligns with their gender identity under a proposed Arizona law.
The measures are part of a national campaign backed by the Scottsdale-based Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative religious freedom group. The Alliance Defending Freedom has filed a federal discrimination complaint on behalf of Connecticut girls who competed in track-and-field. The girls say the state’s inclusive policy on transgender athletes has cost them top finishes and possibly college scholarships.
Conservative groups are also pushing bills that would bar doctors from providing them certain gender-related medical treatment.
