Nebraska lawmakers approve transgender athlete ban

Nebraska lawmakers passed the Stand With Women Act on May 28, 2025, in Lincoln, restricting transgender athletes in postsecondary sports to their biological sex.
The bill arose amid debates about fairness in women's sports, with supporters citing biological differences and opponents stressing inclusion and voter intent.
The legislation, backed by Sen. Kathleen Kauth and Gov. Jim Pillen, establishes a clear distinction between male and female athletes and mandates verification of biological sex for participation in sports.
Governor Pillen stated that the bill successfully advances the important objective of safeguarding sports opportunities for girls and women, and it was approved by the Senate with a 33-16 vote.
The act's passage signals a legislative priority to ensure a level playing field for female athletes, while further debates on related policies may continue.
