Excerpt:
Illinois state Democrats are furiously battling to keep male athletes in female sports as lawmakers debate the issue.
The state faces a growing political divide over the issue of trans athletes in girls’ sports.
Illinois’ lawmakers addressed the topic in a heated back-and-forth on the floor of the state capital on Wednesday.
The state’s General Assembly members broke out into aggressive arguments over the issue during the session.
One Democrat lawmaker even made the unsubstantiated argument that laws to keep trans athletes out of girls’ sports would result in genital inspections of children.
That false argument was initially used in January by U.S. House Democrats who voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
