More states expect
schools to keep
trans girls off girls
teams as K-12
classes resume
By JOHN HANNA

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — As children
across the U.S. head back to classes
and practices for fall sports, four more
states are expecting their K-12 schools
to keep transgender girls off their girls
teams. Kansas, North Dakota and Wyo-
ming had new laws in place restricting
transgender athletes before classes re-
sumed, and a Missouri law takes effect
at the end of this month, bringing the
number of states with restrictions to 23.
North Carolina could enact a ban lat-
er this month, and Ohio could follow in
the fall. A few laws, including ones in
Arizona and West Virginia, are on hold
because of federal lawsuits.
