Voters in several U.S. states have approved ballot propositions that prohibit transgender athletes from competing in women's sports categories, according to a report by Front Office Sports. The measures, which appeared on state ballots during the November 2026 election cycle, represent a coordinated legislative effort to restrict participation based on gender identity.
Details regarding which specific states passed the propositions, the exact language of the measures, and vote margins were not immediately available in the initial report. The propositions follow a national trend of state-level legislation addressing transgender participation in athletics, with supporters citing competitive fairness and opponents arguing the bans are discriminatory.
