Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee signed legislation on May 6 that will ban transgender athletes from competing in female sports at the college level.

The HB 2316/SB 2153 bill prevents biological male students from taking part in any intercollegiate or intramural sports that are designated for females. The educational institution must determine the sex of a student as listed in his/her original birth certificate which was issued at or near the time of birth.
