HB500 prevents biological males from participating in women’s sports.
The Idaho State House of Representatives passed HB500 on March 18, 2020 by a vote of 54 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill defends women’s organized sports in public institutions from unfair and inappropriate participation by biological men. This bill asserts that there are “inherent differences between men and women…which result in men being able to generate higher speed and power during physical activity.” This bold bill is a strong defense of the integrity of women’s games while pushing back on the radical gender ideology overtaking our public and private institutions.
