The South Carolina Senate Education Subcommittee has advanced S.531, a bill that would prohibit transgender youth in middle school, high school, and college from participating in student sports. The bill is the same as measure that were rejected six times in the 2021 legislative session. It now heads to the full SC Senate Education Committee, and we need to take action to stop it.

Every student should be able to access the opportunities and lessons of school athletics, and South Carolina lawmakers should stop their vendetta against transgender students. To categorically deny transgender students the freedom to play alongside their peers is completely at odds with lawmakers’ duties to care for and protect our youth.
