flag Maine voters will decide in November whether to ban transgender students from school sports and facilities matching their gender identity.

flag A Maine ballot initiative to ban transgender students from participating in school sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity has qualified for the November election after organizers submitted over 71,000 valid signatures. flag The measure, backed by the group Protect Girls Sports in Maine and funded by Republican donor Richard Uihlein, would require schools to base these facilities on sex assigned at birth. flag It follows a national debate over transgender rights and youth athletics, with supporters citing fairness and safety, while opponents warn of discrimination and harm to LGBTQ+ youth. flag The initiative bypasses the legislature unless lawmakers act within 10 days.
