American trans athletes are hopeful Joe Biden will begin to challenge the increasing number of regulations which prevent trans people from participating in sporting categories which align with their gender identity.
As Biden is due to be sworn in next week, many are waiting for him to fulfill his promise to restore transgender student’s access to sports, following a year where 17 states proposed bills to prevent trans athletes from competing.According to the Independent, Idaho is the only state which made the bill an official law, but there has still been increased hostility towards trans athletes over the last year.
