Gov. Greg Abbott signed the “Save Women’s Sports Act” Thursday. The measure will prohibit transgender college athletes in Texas from competing in sports that align with their gender identity. They must compete in their gender at birth. It expands on a previous law that banned transgender students in K-12 Texas school districts and some charter schools from doing the same. Abbott said they designed the bill to protect female athletes from unfair competition.
