Bill banning transgender athletes from school sports causes controversy

A round of applause went up in the Louisiana House of Representatives Thursday after lawmakers passed Senate Bill 156.

The controversial bill would ban transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams. Its backers say it would keep a level playing field if signed into law.

That's something Gov. John Bel Edwards isn't expected to do, setting up a battle in Baton Rouge.

That battle will be over something that some argue is a non-issue.

Im trans-aged 🌈🏄I'm biologically 35 years old but I've always felt like a five year old; so I want to be refered to as a five year old. Very excited about starting kindergarten next year, Billy Madison style. Don't discriminate me because of my age.

Put it to a vote of the people, not the politicians who typically do not vote by the people.
