Mississippi Republican State Sen. Angela Hill, who sponsored the bill, said, "If we do not move to protect female sports from biological males who have an unfair physiological advantage, we will eventually no longer have female sports."
Blaze Media "The Mississippi House passed a bill Wednesday to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls' and women's sports across the state.
What are the details?
"The House passed the bill — dubbed the Mississippi Fairness Act — 81-28 on Wednesday, according to the outlet. Six representatives did not vote, and seven representatives voted "present."
"The Republican-controlled state Senate passed the bill 34-9 in February.
"The ban will apply to state schools and universities. According to ABC News, the bill would require "any public school and university that is a member of the Mississippi High School Activities Association and NCAA, among other associations, to designate their athletic teams as male, female or co-ed and restrict athletes assigned male at birth from joining female teams."
"Idaho became the first state to pass a similar law banning trans women from competing in women's sports in 2020. A federal district court, however, suspended the new law and it has yet to be enacted." . . .
Supporting transgenders, Biden said, "Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love". Including, may I suppose the fear of being bankrupted because of supporting real women against men dominating in female sports?
Yahoo ticked off because Newt told Tucker he sided with Mississippi . . . "Host Tucker Carlson had earlier accused Biden of pushing “deeply divisive” policies on LGBTQ equality and immigrant rights ― and Gingrich ran with it.
"He declared the Biden administration was in a “sprint to radicalism” to create an America of “racial deep inequality” that is “anti-white” and “anti-Asian.”
"He then uttered this head-scratcher:
“It’s an America in which transgender dominates Christianity and Judaism.”
This Durango Herald reader would disagree: Letting transgender women play women’s sports is a good thing . . . "Policing any woman’s body opens up the gates to gender discrimination. In short, excluding transwomen hurts all women. I encourage you to ask your daughters and your granddaughters about this issue. I feel you’ll find they don’t mind sharing space. Oppression is taught, not inherent. I am excited for the opportunities opening up for all women with Executive Order 13988." Jessie Ribera
