South Carolina’s Gov. Henry McMaster on Monday signed a bill that would require transgender students to compete in sports based on the gender specified on their birth certificate.
« I think the girls ought to play girls and the boys ought to play boys », McMaster said earlier this month. When asked if he meant biological boys, the governor responded, « Are there any other kind? »
Opponents have labeled the bill as « cruel » since it can prevent students who are not elite athletes and looking to fit in from engaging with their fellow students.
