Tennessee bill would require student athletes to compete based on gender at birth

A Tennessee lawmaker has introduced a bill that would force transgender students to play on sports team based on their sex at birth.

Republican State Rep. Bruce Griffey introduced the bill last month, which proposes the requirement of elementary and secondary schools receiving public funding to ensure that student athletes participate in school-sanctioned sports based on students' biological sex indicated by an original birth certificate.

"This bill prohibits a school from accepting revised or amended birth certificates for the purposes of athletic participation," according to a bill summary on the Tennessee General Assembly website. "A school that fails to comply with these requirements will be immediately ineligible to continue receiving state and local public funds."

What you are should be determined by reality, not a delusional "identification".
