A bill heading to the House floor would effectively ban transgender women and girls from competing in women and girls school sports teams. The measure’s sponsor says this ban is needed because biological males have a physical advantage over biological females when it comes to sports.

They begin their conversation with the changes transgender girls go through when undergoing hormone therapy.
