House Republicans pass transgender school sports ban

[timantoine]

The bill is creepy? What's creepy is a trans woman standing on a podium at a woman's college swim meet in a one piece with a bulge in the front of her suit.

[TheHouseofChameleons]

It's not a ban, it's a correction.

[jeffsimpson]

Now ban congress from trading and selling stocks when serving🤷‍♂️

[ctbt]

I am not a Republican, but I agree with this

[PeterParker-gtxl]

A win for all (real) women. And men who still love and respect them

[miamcrae]

What about protecting kids in school 😮

[wolfmangoland]

GOP Congress must ban all congress members and their immediate families from trading stocks while in office. Also, extreme punishments and fines for breaking the law must be included.

[katebeckinsnail]

Everyone that voted against this needs to watch the South Park episode strong woman.

[TheHouseofChameleons]

I can't believe not one Democrat voted to preserve woman's rights.

[dreajam]

This should have never happened in the first place. The weakest boys play against the strongest girls and think it’s fair? Thank you for passing this bill!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[clark]

Now pass a bill to lower the cost of medications or to stop big donors from having too much influence on public policies…. Substantive issues that would actually put food on plates is out of bounds for these corrupt people.

[Barfbagdontsag]

Thank god this got settled. Does Flint have clean water yet?

[Redridge]

I believe in rights for all, but this sports ban is the right thing to do. Perhaps, there should be transgender competitions/category.

[andym.]

Yea this issue I kinda agree with. No one stops you from being who you are and you should have all the rights we all have, but when it comes to competition it is different, you need to stick to your original setup unfortunately.

[Mikedwalker]

How are we going to enforce it??? BIRTH CERTIFICATE… and for most… just use your eyes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[michelemoneywell]

Biological males should NEVER have been allowed in female sports to start with. It's crazy to need this bill but totally necessary. Hopefully the ban will extend beyond schools to all competitions.

[laxus]

Political leaders should get the maximum punishment regardless of context for breaking the law. With power comes responsibility.

[johns]

Can they pass something to help working people now ?

[Sysaphys]

I'm a democrat. I support this bill and I don't understand how this isn't universally supported across the lines.

[river]

Stupid easy promise and a waste of time. This will not help with anything in America. They should protect children from mass shootings.
