Bills in at least 20 states are targeting the transgender community in what LGBTQ advocates say is an organized assault by conservative groups.
On Thursday, the North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill that would ban transgender student athletes from joining teams that match their gender identity. The measure, which passed 65 to 26, also calls for withholding state funds from sporting events that allow athletes to play as anything other than their sex assigned at birth. The bill now heads to the state Senate.
Supporters of the bill — including Republican state Rep. Ben Koppelman, its primary sponsor — say they want to protect opportunities for girls in sports, including access to athletic scholarships.

If this Bill bans one from competing on sports teams for people other than applicant's birth sex, it would also prevent (actual) women from playing on the (male) football team, as is the case for a female right now at U of Tenn.
@earl-of-trumps saidAnti trans are nearly always misogynistic so no surprise.

Protecting women and girls place in sports is surely at odds with banning them from playing for more lucrative male teams.
Oh those freedom loving Republicans, how they just love to curb the freedoms of others.
@phil-a-dork saidYou won’t see it anytime soon because the Olympic committee won’t even allow ciswomen to compete as ciswomen if their testosterone levels are too high.
Can't wait to see some dude crushing real women at the Olympics 😄
I might actually watch the Olympics if they allow that.

Enjoy, Kev!! And btw, the *correct* way to adjudicate this is, whoever forms and
pays for the team calls the shots. No dictators need apply, Kev. Sorry.

@earl-of-trumps saidI was talking about the law maker who’s putting the bill forward, it’s not all about you you know.
Jeezus, where the hell do all the liars come from anyway?
Kev saying I am anti-Trans, you saying I had a Nov 3 meltdown. Fooking liars everywhere 🤔 🤔 😠😳
