Texas state lawmakers are moving quickly to address President Joe Biden's executive order allowing transgender student athletes to play sports of the gender they choose.

Schools that don't comply risk losing federal funding.

Many women's rights groups also oppose Biden's order, claiming it essentially shuts out girls altogether.

“It's about preserving the integrity and solidify provisions that women have been able to successfully compete all the way up and down to the Olympics, careers in sports hang in the balance,” says state Sen. Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) who introduced SB 373, which would require student athletes under the UIL to stick with the gender on the birth certificate.
