 Sports participation is one of the main fronts in legislative and legal battles in recent years over the role of transgender people in U.S. public life. Most Republican-controlled states have passed restrictions on participation, such as bans on gender-affirming health care for minors. Several have also restricted which bathrooms and locker rooms transgender people can use, particularly in schools. Washington and Idaho are two of at least 24 states with law on the books barring transgender women and girls from competing in certain women's or girls' sports competitions.
