Initiative 638 is a 2026 ballot initiative proposing the amendment of Washington state law. The initiative would require students participating in K-12 sports to submit medical documentation that verifies their “biological sex” as female. This would prohibit transgender girls from competing in school athletic activities intended for females, and would require healthcare providers to verify a student’s biological sex to determine eligibility.
