Florida moves to ban transgender athletes from high school sports

Florida is the latest state to advance a measure that would ban transgender girls from competing in high school sports.
The measure was passed by the state’s Republican-led legislature Wednesday night, and will become law when signed by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to The Orlando Sentinel.
The bill was reportedly passed mostly along party lines after the stalled measure was amended into a charter school bill.
Similar bills have been passed in recent months by Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, after Idaho approved a transgender sports ban last year. A federal judge issued a temporary injunction against the law in The Gem State.
More than two dozen other statehouses are considering a copycat ban.
Proponents claim the legislation is needed because transgender female athletes have greater strength, bone mass and muscle volume than their peers.
LGBT advocacy groups and civil rights advocates say the measures are discriminatory and not addressing a real problem, as most lawmakers sponsoring the bills haven’t cited problematic instances in their states.

They should create a Transgender division where transgenders compete against each other regardless which gender they identify as.

Probably be more watchable than women’s sports, imho

Boys of who think they are girls. This is why they are not able to compete in girls' sports.

Since when does something have to be a problem before legislative action is warranted.
Common sense says it could very easily become a problem in the very near future.

I don’t follow a ton but has JBE taken a stance? I want to say I heard he would allow it but could have misheard/misinterpreted.

It’s called the men’s division. There is no genetic advantage to allowing women to play in the men’s division.
There is plenty of an advantage for men to play in a women’s bracket.

I thought it was bad when my son was a 12-year-old 7th grader who hadn't hit puberty playing football with 14-15 year-olds who had. I can imagine how frustrating it would be for parents of girls watching them compete against dudes.

No, it wouldn’t. It would keep them competing as their biology indicates they are.
