Wisconsin gov shoots down bill to keep boys off girls’ sports teams
Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers vetoed a bill Tuesday barring biological men from competing in women’s sports just weeks after it passed the state Senate.
The bill was passed by the state Senate in March by a 20 to 11 vote and would require athletes to compete in sports categories in line with their biological sex. Evers had expressed displeasure with the legislation in the past and opted to veto the bill, arguing that it would only embolden “anti-LGBTQ harassment, bullying, and violence,” according to a press release.
“This type of legislation, and the harmful rhetoric beget by pursuing it, harms LGBTQ Wisconsinites’ and kids’ mental health, emboldens anti-LGBTQ harassment, bullying, and violence, and threatens the safety and dignity of LGBTQ Wisconsinites, especially our LGBTQ kids,” Evers said in the press release. “I will veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids, and I will continue to keep my promise of using every power available to me to defend them, protect their rights, and keep them safe.”
The bill was passed in October 2023 by the state Assembly in a package of bills that also banned men in women’s collegiate sports and would bar a physician from performing a sex change surgery or administering puberty blockers to a minor or risk losing their license. Wisconsin Republicans moved the legislation forward despite Evers telling transgender advocates at a rally at the state capital that he would veto any such legislation coming to his desk.

Let's worry more about mentally ill people feeling "bullied", than actual kids being endangered.

I hope his granddaughter gets trucked into an ER by one of these "girls" during a high school basketball game.
Until these frickers feel personal pain from their policies, they will not stop.

The harassment he claims to want to avoid will just be worse when some dude saunters into the girls' locker room and assaults a girl after claiming to be trans.

And WI "conservatives" say Repubs lose their state, because of "mUh abortion." Have fun turning into a garbage state like MN.
I wonder if it's veto proof.

That picture is so definitive. What these fools are allowing across our Border will chew them up and spit them out. I seriously doubt that this psychological/political dynamic has ever existed in the historical record of national collapse.

Wisconsin is not diverse enough to be a solidly Red state. Notice that states with the least diversity are the most socialists.

Haven't some historians claimed the many upper crust Romans had mental and neurological disorders from drinking wine from glasses made with lead?

Sha'Carri Richardson is officially the fastest woman in the world Richardson won the women's 100 meter title at the 2023 track and field world championships. She won with a time of 10.65 seconds.
Thailand’s boy sprint sensation, 16-year-old Puripol Boonson, has been named by the World Athletics as the Number One 100-metre sprinter in the Under-18 age group, with a record of 10.09 seconds, set at the 2022 World Athletics U20 Championships.
In 2017, the World Champion US Women’s Soccer team lost to a Dallas U-15 boy’s team 5-2.

Time to fight back. Can't let these liberal morons take away women's sports.

I've said this before....I was a sprinter in high school, decent, nothing spectacular. Went to the state finals in 100 m and 200 m. My times were at this world record time for women.

Not sure why Republicans don't make a much bigger election issue out of this than they have to this point. The abortion issue doesn't effect most people (which is why it is so low on the issue polling this election). However, 80% of adults have school age kids getting railroaded into supporting this crazy shite, their daughters having to share bathrooms with mentally ill boys, and those boys now now competing against your girls. It is the kind of issue that someone would probably tell a pollster one thing, but then silently vote the other way.
