I know this is a topic that can lead to some major debate, but if you respond I ask that you keep it clean and respectful.

Today Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge along with Sen. Missy Irvin and Rep. DeAnn Vaught introduced legislation called The Gender Integrity Reinforcement Legislation for Sports (GIRLS) Act. If passed, this bill would ensure sex-specific teams. The gender on your birth certificate is the team you will be allowed to play on. If passed, the Act will apply K-12 schools, colleges and universities who receive state funding, and any entity that receives membership fees or other funds from state funded schools.
