Washington State voters will decide the fate of a ballot initiative that would require girls from kindergarten through high school to undergo sex-verification testing before playing school sports — a measure critics call the most extreme of its kind in the country. “It is just like in 2006, when Republicans poured money into ballot initiatives to oppose marriage equality.” According to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, only about 10 transgender athletes participate among more than 200,000 students in the state’s middle and high school sports programs. Maria, a recent high school graduate and longtime basketball player who has been organizing against the measure, said she has never encountered anyone who supports it.
