Florida's Republican governor on Tuesday signed a restrictive law banning transgender girls and women from participating in women's and girls' scholastic sports.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill at the Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville, claims the ban is a way to protect the integrity of women's and girls' sports.

Elementary school athletes are not included in the ban.
