Holcomb vetoes house bill 1041 which would have stopped guys who pretend they are girls from playing girls sports in school

[Hkindiana]

Out wonderful Governor vetoed house bill 1041 today. The bill would have stopped biological males from competing on girls sports teams in grade k-12.

This world just continues to get sicker and sicker. Those like this RINO continue to show their true colors.

He just earned his first attaboy from me and already had it revoked.

Sounds like a good one for the legislature to override.

Woke is as woke does.

I am glad I didnt not for this guy last time around.

I think it basically says that this law wouldn't have been fair, and the governing bodies do enough to make sure the games are fair already, even as they allow (as the Babylon Bee puts it) "Performance Enhancing Testicles"

I didn’t follow this one. I’m not familiar with its particulars. Assuming the governor makes legit points, parents still have the ultimate power. If enough parents unite, this will Likely take care of itself.

 

[JEBland]

Not endorsing his opinion, just giving the letter for those who are interested (as I believe that we should know what we're refuting). For the sake of completeness, here's the bill:

I didn't watch the testimony and I don't have an detailed discussion of the bill prepared. ( )

This will affect ???? people... But constitutional carry will affect hundreds of thousands.

I'll take that trade off.

This would sting, but if ALL parents would remove their daughters from their teams until the boys aren`t competing against them, I think that would do it.

Girls should just refuse to compete.

At what point does this guy decide he's committed a colossal mistake? (Swimmer, but governor as well...)

Wonder if he thought “if I give them constitutional carry and give the ISTA trans-athletes, I’ll win both sides”?

I got into a monster Twitter war (I know, it's the 7th circle of hell) with someone who was either trans or a rabid trans ally. I simply indicated that it was not fair to devalue biological women (shouldn't have to preface woman or women with the term biological, but here we are) and I was particularly talking about sports. I was called bigoted, ignorant, hateful, transphobic, a hypocrite, a Trumpist, and my personal favorite, a woman hater. I told this person that prior to walking away from the Democratic plantation, I had never experienced the vitriol this a-hole was spewing at me. He kept screaming about trans women are women, and that if you disagreed, you were a bigot. There is absolutely no reasoning with these types of people.

Girls should just refuse to compete.

Yup. Honestly I don't think this should ever get to the point of needing laws to resolve. Women could fix this tomorrow by simply turning their backs and refusing to compete with men.

Men in the state legislature shouldn't have to come riding in to save them. For all of our lives before, like, a year ago, this was unquestioned and accepted fact: Women's sports aren't for men.

Where are these women that are willing to turn down scholarships, endorsement deals and sports careers?
