Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Signs Controversial Sports Bill Amidst Protests
TL;DR Summary
Texas Governor Greg Abbott ceremoniously signed Senate Bill 15 into law, known as the "Save Women's Sports Act," which prohibits transgender athletes from competing on college teams that match their gender identity. The law, which takes effect in September, forces athletes to compete based on their "biological sex" as stated on their birth certificate. This comes after Abbott previously signed a law banning gender-affirming care for trans youth in Texas.
