Texas HB1123 mandates interscholastic athletic competitions be based on biological sex, requiring physical exams and genetic testing if a discrepancy.
Texas HB1123 amends the Education Code to require that interscholastic athletic competitions be based on biological sex as stated on a student's birth certificate or another government record. A student cannot compete in a competition designated for the opposite sex unless their chromosomal sex matches the sex assigned at birth. Licensed physicians must refer students for genetic testing if they suspect a discrepancy between the student's assigned sex at birth and their chromosomal sex.
