There is a simple answer. Force the schools to create trans-only sports leagues. Let the games begin!

Why can’t a high school wrestler weighing 285 pounds identify as a 106 pounder?

The secret to having trans queers cease to be female athletes is the locker room.

In the corner of the locker room, several girls should just beat the crap out of him. Fists are ok but baseball bats would be better.

A broken jaw might dissuade the guy

Any way, if he can’t walk, he can’t compete

Check your facts, people.

My point is that once you've turned your children over to a public school system to have them "educated," you've already surrendered your first obligation as a parent by acknowledging that your rights and responsibilities are subservient to the whims of a government that invariably just grows more corrupt over time.

I brought this up on these threads back when the same nonsense was being discussed in South Dakota. I made the point back then that instead of calling on a state government to prohibit men from competing in women's sports -- at a time when there wasn't a single case of such a thing in South Dakota -- these parents would be better served by dealing with the matter through means that were completely within their control. Even in a radical leftist dump like San Francisco the parents have started recalling school board members who put politics over the well-being of their kids.

These “silly” problems as you call them have infected and rotted our military, entertainment industries, medical professions, corporate board rooms, churches, academia, news rooms, and, yes, elementary schools. The destructive policies are being mandated by the deep state; and the deep state has no hesitation to go after any mother that speaks the truth at a school board meeting.

Right. So let's just have another layer of government pass another stupid law. Your line of thinking here doesn't make any sense.

No, Norm really did veto a perfectly sane bill. She was intimidated.

I like home schooling; that is why, as parents, we did it years ago.

But taxpayers, whether they have children in public schools or not, have a right to expect public schools not to train children to be mindless assassins.

Taxpayers should not spend enormous amounts of money to turn out millions of students each year that can't read, can't write, and can't think. That is happening today.

Taxpayers have a right to expect their governors, and every other official, to enact and enforce laws that protect society.

If you want minimalist laws, fine. Pass just one law; every man shall act like a gentleman.

How about instead of being snarky and telling people to check facts, you provide a link to the facts you want checked. Be pro-active here. You want to change minds but you don't want to assist in changing them.

You're kind of making my point. This has been happening for almost 100 years. What the hell does a law banning "transgender boys" from girl's sports have to do with this?

If anything, I'd make the case that the real push in these schools should be to eliminate the sports teams entirely ... which is what I have predicted is going to happen anyway once the trannies dominate women's sports.

Noem refused her first opportunity to sign a bill, but has since signed a subsequent version into law.

They don’t want to be called bad names by the left and have it repeated endlessly by the media - Afraid of the “Sexual Orientation\Identification Card”. Yes, a new card to make GOP politicians cower in the corner and suck their thumbs! Indeed, they’re political cowards!

I have wonder if vetoes of such laws are more about how the proposed legislation is written and whether such would stand up to legal challenge. It is probable that some are seen as too broad if college level athletics are included.

The legislation should be narrowed and be written very clearly to show the intent is to protect female athletes.

It is apparent to all who would use simple reason that “trans” athletes like Lia Thompson are a farce. “Lia” is a biological male and competed as a biological male in collegiate swimming. “ Lia” despite some hormone blocking drugs has the body of a male including male genitalia. “She” is now breaking female swimming records besting biological females who are at the top of their form competing as females their entire lives. This is not only unfair but idiotic. “Lia” is not a female, never was and never biologically will be. This legislation should be unnecessary, but because this trans idiocy has become so pervasive and is destroying female athletic programs state legislatures are compelled to act.

yes I realize Noem had an early misstep on this but I believe she has seen the error of her ways and SD has now rules in place. You gotta give her credit for changing her mind.
