Apr 18, 20218:37Now PlayingIn Florida, new sports legislation passed by the State House of Representatives supports the settling of disputes over students' gender through a physical examination.
The Fairness in Women's Sports Act states requires that certain athletic teams or sports sponsored by certain educational institutions be designated on basis of students' biological sex; Prohibits athletic teams or sports designated for female students to be open to male students; requires that student's school or institution, as applicable, resolve disputes regarding student's sex; Requires State Board of Education to adopt certain rules; Provides for civil remedies & damages.
This means an institution can request documentation from a student's healthcare provider that verifies the student's biological sex.
The bill also gives a student's school permission to request a routine sports physical examination of students' reproductive organs, genetic makeup, or testosterone levels.
LGBTQ+ advocates argue that the legislation is discriminatory and could expose students to physical and sexual abuse and trauma.
