Instead of considering testosterone levels or the length of time an athlete has been medically transitioning, HB 151 would be an all-out ban of transgender girls and women from playing women’s sports.

This is interesting, as it seemingly wouldn't impact naturally intersex students who may share many of the physical traits associated with males while being considered by the sports staff to be female.

"Allowing biological males to compete against biological females is a discriminatory policy [...]"

Pretty sure that's the exact opposite of discrimination.
