Tennessee student-athletes will have to submit proof of their biological sex at birth — and compete according to that designation — under a transgender sports bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Lee.
The law made Tennessee the third state this year, and the second in two days, to enact measures meant to keep genetic males who identify as female out of girls’ sports.
“I signed the bill to preserve women’s athletics and ensure fair competition,” Lee tweeted after signing the bill Friday.
The measure zoomed through the state legislature in just six weeks and passed on a bipartisan 71-16 vote Monday with little debate.
Lee had signaled his support for the effort earlier last month, when he told reporters that he believed “transgenders participating in women’s sports will destroy women’s sports.
“It will put a glass ceiling back over women that hasn’t been there in some time,” he said.
Good people have to start standing up to these crazy unconstitutional idea’s.
Should be banned from society along with a bunch of other dirtbag groups
If you have a tally-whacker you is still a guy!
Totally agree and if more women refuse to participate in events or pagants….then the trans can hold their own such competions. Other wise its not really fair to the biological females.
They start having unisex events. Where its all out in the open…OPEN to all male,female and FEMS, DYKES, trans-(m to f, f to m)
LGBTQ specific events!
Wishing doesn’t make you something you’re not. Gleefully stealing from those you wish you were doesn’t make it any more right.
