Ohio Legislature Bans Transgender Girls from Female-Only School Sports
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Republican-led House of Representatives in Ohio has approved a bill
to ban transgender girls from school sports. Under the bill, student
athletes could be forced to have invasive genital inspections if anyone
questions their gender. The bill was approved on the first day of Pride
Month with little debate, after a Republican lawmaker amended it to an
unrelated piece of legislation.
