Living up to the state’s purple status in the otherwise blue region of New England, New Hampshire lawmakers on Thursday passed a bill that would ban biological males from competing in female school sports.

After voting 13–10 in favor of the legislation, the Republican Senate then passed a parental notification bill with the same party-line vote, under which schools will be required to provide parents with two weeks’ notice of any planned sex education curriculum that includes material on gender identity.
