Really misleading title, as the first line in the article says, this isn't a ban from sports, but from biological males who have transitioned (in one form or another) from participating in female sports at public schools.

Florida has become the latest US state this year to ban transgender girls and women from participating in female sports at public schools.

I agree, however I left the title as the BBC published it. Actually I would class that particular headline as a lie, not just misleading.

Now the published headline has been changed. Updated the title.

Sorry, maybe my first comment was formulated poorly. My comment was mainly targeted at the BBC, that they where being misleading with their title.

Understood. I have noticed before that controversial headlines get changed, pretty curious whether it is lazy editors rubber-stamping journalist submissions, then fixing them, or something a bit more deliberate.
