In Nevada, a heated debate is unfolding over a proposed change to school sports. The state's governor, Joe Lombardo, is pushing for a vote in 2026 that would restrict transgender girls from competing in female sports. He argues this is about fairness and safety for girls. But not everyone agrees.
A women's rights group has taken the governor to court. They claim the proposal is misleading and doesn't give voters enough information to make a decision. The group also questions if there's even a real problem to solve. They point out that there's no evidence of transgender athletes causing issues in Nevada schools.
The governor's team says this is all about fairness. They believe the changes will protect girls' sports. But critics see it differently. They think this is more about politics than sports. Some even say the governor admitted this plan is to help his re-election chances.
Right now, Nevada's sports rules already limit transgender athletes. But this proposal would make those rules part of the state's constitution. That's a big deal and why the court case is so important.
The court will decide soon if the vote can go ahead. But one thing is clear: this debate is far from over.
