SACRAMENTO—

A recently amended bill by the State Legislature may end up allowing boys and girls to not only play and compete on their opposite gender's sports teams, but also allow access into locker rooms and bathrooms.

We are not talking about someone who just feels like playing on a team of the opposite sex.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – A controversial bill that would have allowed boys and girls to play on the same school team is being pulled.

The bill was aimed at the transgender teen who identifies him or herself as the opposite sex by allowing them to compete on the field or court with that sex.

San Francisco Assemblyman Tom Ammiano introduced the bill last week. But opponents quickly came out against it.

Sounds nice on the surface, but I'm sure there would be a lot of bullying, not to mention the locker room awkwardness and the unfair advantage.
