Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was joyous as he signed legislation Thursday to prohibit transgender female athletes from competing in women's college sports.
"Today is an important day for female athletes across the state of Texas, including little girls who aspire to one day compete in college sports," Abbott said Thursday, via The Hill, in Austin.
The legislation also says the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will be adopting rules to put the act into effect, making sure state and federal law"regarding the confidentiality of student medical information" is ensured.
