Supporters believe the law will"protect girls and women in sports," but LGBTQ advocates say it's both discriminatory and invasive.BOISE, Idaho — Idaho moved closer Wednesday to banning transgender women from competing in women’s sports despite warnings that such a law is unconstitutional and uncertainties about how the NCAA might react.
A similar bill is advancing in the Arizona Legislature, and Idaho Republican Rep. Barbara Ehardt, the bill’s sponsor, said said other states were considering following suit. Ehardt said her legislation would only apply to Idaho student-athletes, allowing transgender females from other states to compete in Idaho.
The NCAA, which governs major college athletics, in 2016 disqualified North Carolina from hosting championship events after lawmakers there passed a “bathroom bill” considered anti-transgender. Lawmakers later repealed the law, and the NCAA lifted its ban. The NCAA has a policy allowing transgender athletes to compete.
