Gov. Greg Abbott shakes hands with members on the House floor on the first day of the 2023 Legislature on Jan 10.
“This next session, we will pass a law prohibiting biological men to compete against women in college sports,” Abbott said at the Young America’s Foundation Freedom conference in Dallas. He made the comments during an interview billed as a “fireside chat” with former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Republican lawmakers have already filed two bills — Senate Bill 649 and House Bill 23 — this legislative session that would target transgender students’ sports participation at colleges and universities.
In 2021, the NCAA board announced it will only hold championships in which transgender student athletes can participate without discrimination.
