The Texas Senate, with Abbott's support, has proposed bills targeting transgender athletes four times total this year — including three times during special sessions.

thereidout This guy is a mess. TX you need to vote him out if you expect any sense of normalcy in your state.
thereidout He means transgender can't play basketball, hockey baseball, football ,soccer volley ball or water sports. Abbots point is? Girls and boys already mix and match in all sports.
thereidout Meanwhile we are stocking up on flashlights and blankets because he has done dick squat about the grid.
thereidout Interesting debate
thereidout Ugh. I’m as liberal as the day is long. But I’m on the fence here. Bio males would crush bio females. Don’t agree? Then why separate the genders at all? Screw it. Allow women to be crushed in every sport.
thereidout What does he achieve by enacting a law that discriminates against a group of children? Do really majority of Texas want this?
Wouldn't want a transgender kid to feel included or validated in any way or *gasp* score a goal when on a team which aligns with their identity. Thank goodness Abbott is on the case.
thereidout He is a bigot and at war with LGBTQ hit him with lawsuits
thereidout The Gov. is protecting Women’s sports. Biological males are ruining female sports. This is a win for women, a win for common sense. Finally someone who’s not afraid to stand up and say what the angry mob is against.
thereidout Oh, for God’s sake! There must be more pressing issues for him to concentrate on as a Governor!
thereidout The only attack is on teenage girls! Nbcuniversal hates US!
thereidout Biological males have a physical advantage over females in sport. Having a boy play in girls sports is a step down in woman's right to play sports.
