Georgia Senate Republicans recommend that state write laws banning transgender girls and women from participating in school and college sports.

The vote by a committee that was studying the issue is hardly a surprise.

It's a sign Republicans believe there is more political gain in fears about transgender women playing women’s sports.

At least 26 mostly Republican states have passed laws or rules to restrict transgender girls from participating high school sports.
