Abbott Signs ‘Save Women’s Sports’ Act

From The Texas Minute

In a ceremony at the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame in Denton yesterday, Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law the Save Women’s Sports Act. As Sydnie Henry reports, the new law is designed to protect women’s collegiate sports and competitions from men masquerading as women.

Advocates Cheer As Gov. Abbott Signs ‘Save Women’s Sports’ Act

The new legislation prohibits Texas’ public universities and colleges from allowing biological men to compete against women.

“Some women are being forced to play against biological men. … College records that women set are being threatened. Women’s sports, women’s records, women’s teams, women’s locker rooms all are jeopardized when biological men are allowed to compete for those titles, for those teams, for those records.” – Gov. Abbott

At the bill signing, protestors waving “trans” flags stood outside the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame in opposition to the legislation, which goes into effect on September 1.
