Pennsylvania Gov. Wolf Will Veto Bill Restricting Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, said Monday that he will veto a bill banning transgender athletes from playing women's sports in the state, should it pass the state legislature, reported the Hill.

“I’ll veto this discriminatory bill if it gets to my desk,” he tweeted.

The "Fairness in Women's Sports Act" is Pennsylvania's version of similar bills advancing in state legislatures across the country.

Meanwhile, five GOP Pennsylvania House members — Reps. Barbara Gleim of Cumberland County, Valerie Gaydos of Allegheny County, Stephanie Borowicz of Clinton County, Dawn Keefer of York County and Martina White of Philadelphia — say he should not allow athletes who were born male but now identify as female to compete in girls and women’s sports.

They said athletes born male have intrinsic physical advantages over those born female.

Wolf is a sick and evil. He can’t leave his office and this earth too soon.

Men are Women, but Women are not.

I can’t get why a dude who decides he wants to be woman does something so unfeminine as to use his male bone structure and muscle mass to whip women in sports. But why even bother trying to understand these nut-jobs?

“They said athletes born male have intrinsic physical advantages over those born female.”

Imagine a world in which that is a controversial thing to say.

I can only conclude form this, that Wolf is mentally ill.

Discriminatory?

How is it fair to allow boys to compete with girls?

>>“I’ll veto this discriminatory bill if it gets to my desk,” he tweeted.

If THIS is discriminatory then so are the very notions of “women’s locker rooms/bathrooms” and “women’s sports competitions”.

Same reason that non-monogamous people wanted “marriage”.

Wave it in your face.

The pervert lobby knows that “cash is king” in today’s politics.

And therein lies the problem between democRATS and Republicans.

democRATS can't tell the difference between boys and girls.

Here's a very simple rule to follow to determine what gender team you get to play on:

Everybody has to have a physical exam before they're allowed to play sports.

If you have a penis, you are a male and only get to play with the boys.

If you have a vagina, you are a female and only get to play with the girls.

If you have neither or something else between your legs, then you can't play with either the girls' or the boys' teams. You need to start your own team and play with yourself.

Easy peasy. Problem solved.

Notice you never hear stories of biological women clamoring to compete in mens sports?

They men doing this don’t want to compete, they want to win.
I believe there as an example in a race - the time that the tranny won with set a new record for the school’s women’s sports - and would not have finished within the top 10 in men’s sports.

I keep wondering why the female population continues to allow Democrats to discriminate against them? Is being a loyal Democrat more important than fairness in competition? Apparently so, and even more so in politics than sports.

In related news, numerous corporate CEOs are planning a trek to Harrisburg to kiss Wolf’s butt.
