Noem releases ad touting transgender athlete ban in girls' sports

 The Hill  "South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) released an ad on Wednesday promoting a transgender athlete ban on girls’ sports as the bill makes it way through the state legislature.

" 'In South Dakota, only girls play girls' sports. Why? Because of Governor Kristi Noem’s leadership,” the ad says, which does not use the word “trans” or “transgender.”

“ 'Noem has been protecting girls’ sports for years and never backed down,” the ad continues.

"The ad said that the legislation would give the state “the strongest law in the nation” for protecting girls’ sports.

" 'Noem's steady, conservative leadership doesn't win headlines, it wins results,” the ad says.

"Noem tweeted the ad out on Wednesday, saying in an associated post that it would be airing that night on prime-time news programs across the U.S. 

"On Friday, the GOP-backed Senate State Affairs committee passed Noem’s legislation, which would prohibit female school sports teams from allowing transgender women and girls to play on those teams, The Associated Press reported." . . .
