Mississippi votes to ban transgender athletes from girls' and women's teams

Xi Biden's team will be coming.
The Republican-controlled Mississippi state Senate on Thursday passed a bill that seeks to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls’ or women’s sports at state schools and universities.
According to The Associated Press, the Senate passed the measure in a 34-9 vote.
The legislation is the latest effort by state legislators across the country to impose restrictions on transgender youth in athletics, as well as gender-confirming health care.
“I’ve had numerous coaches across the state call me and believe that they feel there’s a need for a policy in Mississippi because they are beginning to have some concerns of having to deal with this,” state Sen. Angela Hill (R), the bill's sponsor, said on Thursday.
The Human Rights Campaign on Wednesday condemned the bills being advanced in Mississippi and other states related to access to health care and sports participation for transgender people.
“These bills are not addressing any real problem, and they’re not being requested by constituents,” the LGBTQ advocacy group said in a statement. “Rather, this effort is being driven by national far-right organizations attempting to sow fear and hate.”
The North Dakota state House on Thursday passed a bill that would prohibit youth transgender athletes from joining teams that match their gender identity. The bill, which now heads to the Senate, also bans sporting events from receiving public funding if they have a trans athlete playing on a team that matches their gender identity. LINK

A little common sense, finally.

If you wanna be trans, that's fine. I find it odd. I don't understand, but who am I to stand in the way of your personal decisions.
But even so, biologically speaking you are a male no matter how you identify.
Males are stronger and faster than females. Fact.
If you wanna compete, compete as a male with your new identity. Seriously... you do that and you win... that's progress.

Who would have thought Mississippi would be leading the way to sanity?

Mississippi has a lot to offer despite its many misgivings. If they begin to harness their potential, watch out.

They should apply this to men's sports too.

Don't need to. FTMs want to still be allowed to attend women's colleges and play women's sports. You also don't see them demanding a transfer to male prisons.
Funny how that works...

That’s a complete and total lie.

Mississippi has also declared it's self to be a Second Amendment sanctuary state. The state will not enforce any federal law infringing on the Second Amendment rights of Mississippians to bear arms.

Disagree.
Attempting to restore some semblance of sanity.

I am so sick and beyond tired of the argument that being against something means you are motivated by fear and hate. It is ABSOLUTELY not true, yet few, if any, in today's media will call it out.
The motivation for things like is simple: fairness. If it was fair for girls and boys to compete against one another, then there wouldn't be girls and boys teams.
A biological male is, generally, going to be stronger and faster than a female.
SCIENCE.

Sports simply need to be delineated based on biological sex. Gender is irrelevant.

This is common sense.
