Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on Tuesday said he would veto a bill seeking to ban transgender athletes from competing in school-sponsored girls’ sports.

The proposed legislation, like many of its kind, holds that forcing women to “compete against biological males playing on women’s sports teams” is a violation of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in education.
