Georgia enacts ban on transgender athletes in women's sports
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the Riley Gaines Act of 2025, banning transgender students born male from participating on female sports teams in public and private schools and colleges. The law allows financial penalties and lawsuits against non-compliant institutions, and also prohibits transgender athletes born female from joining male teams. Critics note a lack of evidence of problems in Georgia schools, while supporters argue for fairness and safety. Georgia joins over two dozen states with similar bans.
