Indiana House bill banning transgender athletes from participating in K-12 sports advances

Davis presented the bill before the House Education Committee Monday sharing that “she was one of the better players” on her high school and travel basketball teams, so she would play with a group of boys her age who did not make their respective basketball teams.

Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, asked Davis to define the threat to the integrity of Indiana sports. Davis said the threat is “not beginning on an equal playing field.” “How can anyone say there’s no physical advantage to this situation and how is this in any way, shape or form fair to our biological females,” Schiffli said.

“This bill seeks to solve a problem where one does not exist and demonizes trans children unnecessarily. Proponents of this bill have cherry-picked examples of elite athletes who are finding success in their sports while being trans. Of course people who compete occasionally win, but we have yet to see any organized set of examples that trans people are taking over sports en mass and preventing girls who are not transgender from being able to compete,” Malone said.

MAKES MAYOR LIGHTFEETS HAPPY

Thank God

The headline is misleading. Trans kids can still play on the team of their birth sex.

Hate is Indiana's 1 export.

**** Indiana

Glad to see commen sense still exists in some places.

Is there any data on the approximate number of transgender girl athletes in Illinois who want to play girl's sports?

Small government though, right?

Grandma tricks alleged scammer into coming to her house where police pounce, make arrestA 73-year-old woman is alerting others about elderly scams after she outwitted a would-be fraudster and captured his arrest on a home video camera. Story is from Long Island, NY with no connection at all to Chicago. 😞 Just because you are not living in New York, doesn't mean that you can not be scammed. Scammers are all over the place, not just in New York. You are very naive to feel that just because a story takes place out of state or in another city, it is irrelevant.
