United State’s Idaho Governor, Brad Little signed two anti-transgender bills into law Monday.
One measure bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ and women’s sports teams, while the other prohibits transgender people from changing their gender on Idaho birth certificates.
Little’s office did not comment on the laws.
House Bill 500, also known as the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, says “athletic teams or sports designated for females, women, or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex.”
The measure says that a “dispute” about an athlete’s gender can only be resolved by examining “the student’s reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously 19 produced testosterone levels.”
Little also signed into law on Monday House Bill 509, which prohibits transgender people from obtaining a new birth certificate with their gender identity on it.
