LEXINGTON, Ky. — Despite pleas from young transgender Kentucky students, a bill banning K-12 students who are biologically male from competing in girls sports was approved by a Senate legislative committee Thursday.
Fisher Wells, a seventh-grader who played on the Westport Girls Field Hockey Team, said she didn't have an unfair advantage over other players.
"It's disgusting that this bill is even suggested," Fisher, a middle school student, told lawmakers.
