House Bill 1041 seeks to extend Indiana's ban on transgender girls in sports to college levels, despite a lack of reported issues involving transgender athletes at that level.
Critics argue that such legislation is unnecessary and harmful, framing transgender inclusion as a threat despite a lack of evidence to support those claims.
The introduction of HB 1041 reflects a wider trend, with 574 anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced across the U.S. in 2024, targeting transgender rights and care.
While proponents justify the bill as ensuring fairness, critics maintain it disproportionately harms transgender individuals without addressing any real issues.
