Washington voters will decide on Initiative 638 on November 3, which would ban biological males from competing in girls' K-12 sports.
Washington state will vote on Initiative 638 on November 3, which would ban biological males from competing in girls' K-12 sports. The measure comes as Alliance Defending Freedom filed an emergency Supreme Court application seeking to let a teenage wrestler compete without facing a male athlete, following allegations of sexual assault by a family in Washington.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association and the state's superintendent say transgender athletes can continue competing by gender identity whilst the Supreme Court application is pending. A poll suggests the ban could pass among voters.
