Washington Transgender athletes in Mississippi's public schools and colleges will no longer be allowed to compete in women's sports after the state's Republican governor on Thursday signed the first statewide anti-trans law of 2021.
SB 2536 is the first anti-trans legislation to be approved by a governor this year, with similar bills percolating in statehouses across the country and one such bill currently before South Dakota's Republican governor. Advocates of the bills have argued that trans women have a physical advantage over cisgender women in sports, while critics contend that they're discriminatory, including the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBTQ rights group.

Varvitsiotes Another restriction of citizens' freedom to prevent a problem that hasn't happened.
Complete ignorance but not surprising coming from Mississippi or RetRumplicans.

isn't womens sports just segregation? why aren't we allowing girls to compete with the boys in high school sports? feminism EqualityForAll
Good
Biden tells lawmakers he would end detention of migrant children July 10, 2019
Coronavirus cases have jumped 20% in Mississippi after the Republican governor lifted the state’s mask mandate. Cases had been falling before the governor’s decision.
I agree with him on this. I don’t want my daughter to get accidentally get hit while playing basketball by a women who still has the makeup of a man.
Boys aren't girls and girls aren't boys. You can play pretend all you want and consider gender fluid or whatever you want to do, but sports are divided by sex. Male sports, female sports. Your gender 'role' as you define it has nothing to do with your sex, so what's the problem?
Good. Hopefully other states will follow suit. If biological males are allowed to compete with girls at the high school level the ncaa and all female sports leagues will have very few biological females. if any.
well done. Its about time people stood up to stupidity in the name of doing good. Seems like people are all changing gender to win something they would otherwise have failed miserably.
Why not just create another sporting category and call it trans gender athletes. So that they will complete amongst themselves and live their dreams.. otherwise they will in most cases, eclipse the chances of natural women becoming winners in women sports. I support the gv,nor
CNN couldn't have worded that any better? Still slanted. SMH
transgender is bullsh!t
Nothing bigger to worry about Taint Reeves?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As a CIS female who is taller, stronger and bigger than most men, this is obviously not about size/strength. Flip the script and stop dividing male and female. Do like boxing does and go by size. It would make the new laws null and void.
We need a massive rethink on this.
This is very wrong!
As it should be.
About time someone stands up against the sickness of this Country
I mean, trans woman have advantages on birth woman, it's like letting a 100M runner use a car
And here the world thinks that America is the land of the free. I think it’s time now for Americans to rewrite their national anthem?
Pioneers of confusion are confused themselves, why do this liberals subject these kids to a social experiment with the aim of altering the natural course of nature. U can't use technology to alter nature.. Biology is life
What 👀
There if good reason that MetLife will not recognize me as a 21 year old female when applying for a million dollar life insurance policy. Simply put I’m not weather I think I am. The governor acted accordingly not allowing boys to complete against female competitors
Why should women compete with men. Get real my daughters should compete fair against other women not men.
I think this is ridiculous! Transgender's should be left alone, they are just like any other student trying to get ahead.
So Wrong! Your hatred for these young people shows through your cowardly action😡
This isn't hatred, it being fair to the women on the team.
Chín chắn,manly, biết quan tâm
I have to say and please understand I do not have bias or hatred against transgender people... and am a Dem. I agree with this thinking. Biologically they will be superior and create disparity in competition. Biological men outperform biological women in nearly all sport.
This is good. Men who wants to participate in women sports.
Other State Governors should follow else female sports will cease to exist in United States in the next 2 or 3 years. Imagine a transgender amateur heavy weight boxer competing against a female . Its a no brainer. The female will most likely end up in ICU. Stop this now.
Những người bạn có cùng quan điểm và tư tưởng . Lạc quan, yêu đời .
Yes because I'm sure there aren't more pressing matters in Mississippi that need to be addressed... incredible!
Man fuck that if u are a biological male u belong with the meat packers simple as that
Gov. Tate Reeves why do you have a problem with Transgender? It’s 2021 that means gender equality comes first not your way of closed mindset of thinking🙏🏻 you cannot legally Target a identity just because you do not identify with it as true equal rights of equality!
Sống nội tâm, chân thành, ghét giả dối. Hiện đang thất nghiệp, lang thang trên đất Hải Phòng :)) .
Isn't this a step BACKWARDS? Isn't this the same goober that has his state unmasking and going about business as usual?
Why is this an anti trans bill? It's a pro women bill...... men need to get over themselves and stop marginalizing women. also playing sports ain't a right so........
I'll bet Reeves is pro-life. What about pro-living-as-feels-natural? Let trans people breathe in MS.
Well why should we allow men to participate in women's sports
Perfect
But competing in men’s sports is still okay? Just trying to find the parameters 🧐
Bout time states are speaking up
Fuck. Leave it to Mississippi to lead the way for this. Up next? Re-upping the negro leagues. Cant have coloreds competing against whites.
The people of Mississippi don’t care about this, they are making up things to spend time and money on. They don’t want talk about the wealth gap or access to capital for Black people. The money is what they don’t want to talk about. Mississippi deserves better!
Good!
See ya in the court
Cue the lawsuits.
And he calls himself a Christian? He is the devil incarnate.
A shame on him!
I thought they had decided that if a trans person joins any team, the team will be considered a 'mixed' gender team and would compete against other mixed gender teams?
Unconscionable & unconstitutional. In a normal, unbiased court this would be struck down immediately, but I fear court packing will win out again.
This 'dude' looks like he eat bullied by females.
Well it is kind of unfair. If you ever watched the TV show Wentworth. The first season there was a transgender in the women's prison. Of course he was stronger then all of the women and they used him as muscle.
Does someone need to tel tatereeves that his capitol doesn’t have clean drinking water? Maybe his priorities are off?
I think it’s silly af that we place this much societal value on sports. But, that’s just me.
Yesss... allow appropriate categories for all!!!
offendedsexuals and trans are big mad that men can't compete against women.
Good, they can have their own events!
Maybe instead of stopping them, they can create another sport for these guys so they can also participate.. Just a thought
Good. Create a trans league if they wanna play.
Everywhere they shouldn’t.
He's making it up as he goes this is his way of isolating certain groups of people from other people we call that suppression or a racist act depends on how you look at it but just like in Texas you could vote this governor for Mississippi out he doesn't follow the truth sad sad
Transgenderism is akin to The Emperors New Robe. There is a reason men and women compete separately. Generally, biological men have stronger bodies. I’m thankful my daughter will be able to compete with her biological peers.
In Mississippi you ought to be real and worried your Governor just put a ban on transgenders athletes what is the next banning people of color from from participating in sports because they're better qualified in some way athletes think about it Mississippi your governor
This is the best news of 2021
A trans-woman is a fully equipped biological male. Inwardly they identify as female. It’s a question of men competing against women. Is that fair?
There is no issue in modern life that matters less than this, not even the idiocy around Potato Head and Dr. Seuss.
Good to see they’re focusing on the important issues🙄
No brainer
Should it be allowed? BarackObama JoeBiden in with the trans community and support all of what you expect to support but the issues deriving out of my mind in the context of the things expressed over the past few months are dangerous and illogical
Biological males cannot compete against biological females in athletics... OH THE HUMANITY. WHO WILL PROTECT THE MEN WHO WANT TO ABUSE WOMEN VIA PHYSICAL SPORTS? GTFOH.
To just outwardly ban them from participating seems really wrong
Transgender athletes should compete against each other ie if you are a male trans athlete you should only compete against other male trans athletes Fair is fair
Good call!
Amen I agree 100 percent!!!! If these ungodly ah want to compete with the women they should have stayed a man!!!!!!!!! God will have his day with them. Thank you so much for taking your stand!!!! We need more like you. Rusty Hamilton Meridianville Ala
correct your headline! Females that identify as trans (aka transmen & nb) are welcome in female sport as long as they are not on performance enhancing drugs. They already have had some in female soccer, WNBA, & NWHL. Males are not the only people that identify as trans.
Excellent!
Why aren't more transgenders in mens sports?
2 genders: male and female... the 3rd is neuter, will they get their own league under a Biden executive order?
Amen you go Brother
Wow here it comes
Transwomen are women, if you’re suggesting another sports league for trans kids you’re transphobic and I hate to let you know it. I’m muting this now cause most of you aren’t very nice.
Does anyone else not see the bigger story here: that 'Tate Reeves' .tatereeves is but a thumb with a mop of hair on top masquerading as a man? How long will this deception of the Mississippi voting public be allowed to continue?
LOSER!
People who have a problem with this are what's wrong in society.
An3ita5 Is this really a big problem? There’s likely more states passing anti-trans laws than there are trans women competing in school sports.
Why? What are we so afraid of? Very sad.
So instead of picking a side based on gender politics, religious beliefs, emotion or bigotry, where would one go to actually educate themselves on the issue? Surely there is data and sports science to guide the discussion or is that too much to ask?
An3ita5 I wonder what the NCAA will have to say about that?
smart man.
sad people who dont accept everyone
Well done!!
How about an executive order that stops conservatives from breathing American air.
ladyinlksd WTH kinda name is 'Tate'?
Bonkers. That law is absolute bonkers.
This has nothing to do with hate, right, left, etc. However, laws shouldn’t Have to be crafted; it’s already written Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Good!
It's about time.someone used their brain.
Absolute dick!
I don't understand. Did a bunch of girls say hey we don't identify trans females as female and we are losing so that needs to be fixed? I bet it was a bunch of Caucasian cis males who came up with idea because they can't handle things they can't control. It is that simple.
I think its going to be funny as hell when a Transman gets smoked by a 250 pound linebacker
Way to go! Creating a hate bill. 2.48% of students receive an athletic scholarship - less than half are female. Approximately 0.6% of U.S. are transgender. THIS is not a rational concern for your child. Being treated with dignity IS a rational concern for transgender people
PetalLu Surely there are all sorts of analogies you can think of here. Why are there different weight rules in boxing? Would you allow a 6 stone woman to box against a heavyweight? Would you allow an eight year old child to compete against a 20 year old woman? It’s time for common sense.
To be fair, Transgender need to be able to play and compete like other people, so why not have a Transgender Olympics?
anything besides this one specification is anti-trans. a male transitioning to a female, unless it’s been like 4+ years post op and hormones. cnn is anti-apparency on this one. don’t outlaw the choice to be trans, but don’t let a male with a different name destroy female sports
But not mens sports?
Im not against anyone but l think this is a good thing. The risk of having a Bio male in a girl's bathroom is too high. People lie and that would open up that to them.
I believe that god will punish this guy and his family. Amen
Why is this even controversial 🙄
2021 and some people are still moving backwards!
Of all the great things this guy is in the position to do, this is what he chooses to focus on?
I agree with the Govenor. Be proactive...start more co-ed leagues. My kids played on a co-ed soccer league all through grade school...worked great!
It’s about the chromosomes, nothing to do with feelings.
Amen. Common sense move.
This the best thing he have done since he been in office
What an inhumane approach to human diversity. How arrogant ignorance can these GOP things can have?
What do you see when you see a “Trans”? Is it a threat to your world view? Just as whites fear the loss of their place in the world, do you fear the loss of yours and those who share your views? Fear-based views cause poor social solutions and fear-based laws are poor remedies
Do the residents of Jackson Mississippi have clean water yet?
I'm sorry but I'm all for this. Um they were born an opposite gender then transformed into another n now u want to compete in your present gender(man to female. Now wants to play in female sport) that's cheating in my book. I just deal with common sense it's just not fair.
Good deal
Other states schools could decide not to play against Mississippi teams. Just saying
This is common sense
It feels like common sense to me.
If some male athletes can not win in their competition games they are crossing over to win over in women's competition games, so, no stay in your own lanes. They can be trans and still compete in their original games
Just another Red Neck who can live and let live
He’s really getting things done for Mississippi third world country feel to it
You wouldn’t let a male on a girls team. So why let a transgender on the team. It’s the same thing.
It's about time someone stood up to this bullshit from our dementia laden POTUS
He's talking about Women's sports being for women (big surprise). He's not against transgendered competing with each other.
It makes perfect sense. A man, transgender or not, is just physically stronger than a female. Those are facts. A transgebder woman couldn't compete in a mans sport like power lifting.

Good.
Good. Men dressing in drag stealing women's spaces is not cool.
It isn't anti trans, come on really? Trans athletes have the advantage of strength vs a woman period. Its unfair to women...they can start a trans athletes type of thing, and they can compete against each other.
Hate, hate, hate and more hate. Are there any redeeming qualities left in the Republican party?
I dont care if you want to dress and act like a chicken and fuck a doorknob...its a free country but quit ramming it down our throats and our children's like it's some given right that you can do whatever you want and if someone disagrees its hate.
If you honestly don’t think biological men don’t have a mostly unsurpassable advantage over women in athletics then you don’t know sports at all. Eliminate “men’s” sports and make it coed, but let biological women compete at their own level.
One look at him explains everything.
There is something in the Atlantic. Serious number of backward thinkers increasing on both sides.
Such backwards specimens theses Republicans! Why oh why do these people and their families continue to vote against their own interests?
The entire idea behind title 9 and womens lib was so women could be funded and compete against other women. If you apposed this then you should also appose womens lib. Equality for all right?
Just because you want to dress and act like another gender doesn't make it so....if you are born a man you shouldn't be able to compete in women's sports, dress in women's locker rooms ..go to women's bathrooms..you are not a woman and vice versa
Good for him. It’s the right thing to do
Mississippi sucks!
Good. 🤷🏽♀️
I respect the right everyone has to express however they feel, but I agree with the fact that a Trans man-to-woman have a natural (but unsolicited) physical advantage against a natural woman. That makes any physical competition unfair and even criminal (contact sports).
Does he think teens are changing their sex just to play high school sports? This guy needs to be required to be educated on this issue.
Great news
It’s about TIME
Logic and common sense prevail!! If it wasn’t for Boe Jiden, who thinks he approved this message, states wouldn’t have to undo the moronic lunacy of whoever is behind the wheel in D.C.
Mississippi.... setting the bar as low as possible once again. It's like they try to be the worst state
Discrimination
Does this homophobe actually think that a child would put themselves through the torture they would receive simply to get a trophy or achieve a stat record?
Sounds worse than it is. I’m for trans however there are some biological factors that play into this. I’m about respecting trans. We need to figure out a way to be inclusive without causing physical harm to anyone w/ the potential physical disparities involved.
Thank god!
Hạnh phúc tưởng chừng như gần trong gan tất, như nó lại xa xôi đến k ngờ. Tìm cho lắm, đến cuối vẫn là con số không...
As they should, because you think your something doesn’t make it so. You can’t change your biology, you are not assigned a sex at birth your anatomy does that for you
Wrong!
I wish people would stop reminding me that the Deep South is the Land that Time Forgot.
But you want give people drinking water with hatred ways
I can't think of any pro sport that a woman can be competitive with a man .
what kind of idiot is this
It isn't anti trans so much as its pro biological female. It's about competing for university scholarships.
The whole 2 of them. 🙄
About fucking time a man don’t belong in a woman’s sports ya cheating bastards!
👍👍
What diabolic action is this! This is against humanity and discrimination!
This is a physiological matter. If hormones would completely transform the male physiology I would see no problem. But I suspect that's not entirely possible. Transgender women would have an unfair advantage, which would eventually discourage cisgender women from participating.
Another bogeyman trying to destroy white fragility.
Why does gender even matter in sports?
😔😔😔😔😢
Trans women perhaps should reflect and have the humility to not compete,but then I also question is this a widespread problem that needs to be regulated? I am asking limited government folks?!🤷🏽♀️
Maybe it’s time a new category be introduced to accommodate everyone. There is a large trans community that’s growing and they should be allowed to create a category where they too can compete amongst each other. The idea is to find a Solution.
At least, one person with a minimum sense of reality.
It's physically not fair.
Why do old white gop men continue assume they know what’s best for women?Why does the”less government,more freedom”party continue to pass legislation that physically restricts particular ppl from their freedoms but fail to actually govern, isn’t there a water crisis in jackson?
It's not really an anti-trans law, it's a law safeguarding women and women's sport and as such should be applauded.
Beyond livid about this because I feel like our voices are just not being heard!! I've asked for help due to a personal problem and has been rejected so honestly no surprise lol JoeBiden Fight for trans like you and our dear BarackObama MichelleObama Help
Disgusting!
Vote them all out. Dinosaurs and bigots and sadists. Let them go live in caves and hit each other on the head with clubs.

Evil at the highest peak. God made you a man and you think it is a mistake and want to turn yourself to a woman. It can never be possible. Be ready for God's Judgement.
It would be better if they had their own category. Male. Female. And a third one for all those who are confused
What's changed in the world? Rewind by 5 years and there were no trans kids, what's wrong with good old fashioned crazes like, skateboarding or The Gabarge Pail kids, or am I missing something?
QANON says, 'THANK YOU JESUS!'
Shame on you how can you allow you to judge others! Playing god😡
That's Unconstitutional.
Hey if Texas does Oklahoma will 😂😂
Good they have unfair advantage you can out makeup on a pig but it's still a pig and a guy who chops off his dick is still genetically a man can't change your sex
Not a anti-trans law. Stop with the propaganda. It is protecting women’s and girls sports from unfair advantages.

Pathetic..like it really matters.
Lastige zaak, maar zit wat in
I’m sure this was a huge problem in Mississippi. Now the Governor can help the educational system in Mississippi to climb out of 50th place nationwide.
Hahaha, America. As narrow minded as always. Maybe you guys can now start again to keep black en white separated? O boy o boy.
người bạn thật lòng,hiểu và chia sẽ với mình.
Homophobic
Good
This is a priority?
Isn't that discrimination flat out
Well done , very good jop
Common sense 👍👍👍👍
Glad to hear that! Women’s sports should allow women to compete against women. If women want to compete against men then let them tryout for the team. if they’re good enuf to make the team,....well there u go. Biden claims to support women, wonder y he’s doing the exact opposite
Now that's common sense
It’s 2021 when will certain people realise this and start treating everyone like fucking people. Some people need to go back to the Middle Ages where they belong.
Enough with the trans bullshit..let them form their own league
I have an idea. How about Democratic governors pass bills prohibiting Neanderthals from holding office?
một người yêu quen xa gần j cũng được chũ yếu chân thành !
Good. Finally some common sense
I do not agree with this decision.
Anti trans law? No need to guess CNN's bias here. It's a common sense law.
Best female pro boxer vs male pro boxer man wins. WNBA allstar team vs NBA allstar team man win. Woman’s track and field team vs man track and field team man win. We are talking about physical sports. I support biological born woman. Tate Reeves is right.
Good
FINALLY! somebody is standing up to this 'liberal/woke' bullshyt...
That's right. Being a transgender female hasn't reduced the testoteron level of a biological male. He will outdo any biological female in any fair competition.
Transgenders shouldn’t be allowed to compete in women’s sports period,it isn’t right on so many levels and you people gotta know this deep down.
Good it’s a woman’s sport not a trans woman’s sport. Let them compete against each other.
Good move
what about in men's sports
STUPID IDEA!!! HE HAS NO CARE OF TRANSGENDER PEOPLE!
They should name the divisions Pussies and Dicks. You go to that division to what you hold within your pants.
America's communism is now called Trumpunism. This infestation is worse than the worldwide pandemic!
How many actual trans men or women are participating in these sports Do you actually believe that a man who is super strong physically, who is trans, wants to run with women “as a woman”, to beat men? The % is SO small, it’s not worth arguing over!! letitbe
Why not just start a trans league? Have men's sports, women's sports, trans sports, queer sports, penis sucker's sports, etc... That way everyone can have an even playing field, competing with like-minded people.
I don’t think that a brutal ban is fair. But I think a grown up and honest conversation about female sports and this issue is required because one way or another, unintentionally, two groups both fighting for equality are accidentally doing the opposite to each other.
The more you 🤔 abt it, the more ridiculous this becomes. Anti-discrimination law protects individual identity from unjust 'exclusion'. It does & necessarily MUST NOT act so as to regulate 'acceptance'. 🇺🇸 can't mandate that I must operate publicly by YOUR perception of self.
Recognising biology isn't anti-trans.
It’s not anti trans it’s anti unfair advantages
This is common sense.
Good. Transgender is a joke. If you still have what you were born with, as a male , and have a lot of muscle, you’re still a male. You can put on all the makeup you want. Have the operation, then we can talk! And I’m Gay !
They might only be left playing the other backwards people
I'm still bummed that at 5ft 1 I was turned down to be a Victoria's secret model
Science prevails
I think that a good thing what the Governor did it keeps schools from cheating and plus it keeps girls safe.
common sense it doesn't even need legislations a pink painted mustang will not run slower against any honda civic
Thank you sir . Be great if my state followed that action
The female that think they are male don't try professional men sport because they knew they have no chance. But the Male that do same want to go and dominates Female sport. This is a clear sabotage for Female sport, this can't work, there is no fair ground.
Prejudice and racist people are hurting this country.
.💥..its time to follow a Friend.... Just follow Ceasaro7 and I will follow back ASAP.......💞
Based
The best solution is to have transgendered game separately...
You will elect idiots
There are still some sane people in this country.
It's OK sports be male or female period
Where is the hate, it is just being fair
the wall created is closing up. let just summarize all these in to biological male and female and we wont be having all of these drama
EXCELLENT
SHAME ON YOU
Republicans in the south are always working hard on keeping the Government out of your lives
Good it was unfair to women who have worked so had to be good at their sport.

A great day for women
Don't address the fact that Mississippi is in the toilet when it comes to jobs, education, infant mortality, and life expectancy. Make sure one kid somewhere in Bumfrig, Mississippi can't go out for the high jump. Because it is SOOO frickin' important to y'all.
Good
They should let me play T-ball I’d wreck those kids.
Yup - xx and xy - this is fair .. choose what you want but compete based on the xx amd xy to prevent others from getting hurt.
It’s easy to discriminate when you are an American, Rich, White Man!! intolerantloser
Finally a smart law that will protect women athletes 👍
how this was ever allowed in the first place blows my mind
I agree!!! Stop letting men/boys compete against girls!!!
Proud of this right here
Sex is a category. Argue with mother nature.
This “signing” was theater! Exploitation for a sound byte. He couldn’t even name an instance where this has come up at any MS education institution. “Protect the kids” my ass. His own tweets made clear this was about transgenderism and not “sports”.
It’s an unfair advantage. Common sense. Honest trans people respect that.
I agree with governor of Mississippi, to me he's right, where those transgendies were for so long, they just came out of their shelves when trump was president and asking trump to do something for them.
Transwomen competing against women is unfair & inequality within itself. If we are going to push Equality, it has to be just that. There has to be a way to fairly uphold Transgender rights & Maintain Rights for Women athletes. With respect to sports, I think this is fair.
Huge transgender athlete problem in Mississippi? They love them some symbolic hate don't they
I support trans rights, but inherent biological differences in a male and female body means that unless someone has fully transitioned, a trans woman is going to have much denser muscles and more strength than the average woman, particularly in the case of athletes.
Because why focus on anything that will improve your state?
Pro-woman does not equal anti-trans! More decisiveness from CNN, shocker!
In response to Covid and the State Capitol city not having water for a month, tatereeves is tackling the most important issues 🙄
👍
Has anyone here asked if allowing transgenders to compete in women’s sports discriminate against women?🤷♂️ It’s all about transgenders... Social acceptance, no discrimination for trans should be encouraged & enforced. But to compete in women sports when they are genetically men?
It is not anti trans...it is anti insanity..
This is actually a complicated issue. Because in my mind, that kind of makes sense.
Women’s sports are for biological women. Period.
Let’s stop calling it anti-trans and start calling it pro-woman.
Is that really a huge “problem” in the area? Good god.
If there were any state that was gonna pass something like this first, it was always gonna be Mississippi or Alabama.
It’s fair I wouldn’t want my daughter competing with a male who has only changed his appearance and not his manly strength.
Oh my god this governor just made his biggest mistake ever.
Jack Ass.
Yay... good move...
Nice 👍
Frightened little minds are governing red states.
*Anti-trans* ikyfl 😂😂
I do not believe the story where this is about a love of high school girls sports and not a blatant stepping stone for more anti trans garbage laws
Good!!!! About fkin Time a state stepped up an shut that Shit down, ridiculous
He'll be in court very soon.
Reeves is a major shit ass.
Good
Fleurdelisazure How does this nonsense help the people of MS feed their kids, strengthen their infrastructure, or help them advance their lives in any way? The sheer stupidity is mind-numbing.
Well to be honest, unless their weight and strength are matched...it’s not really a good idea to blend em. I’m all for being who you want to be. With that said...a 6ft, 210 lbs of muscle (male) isn’t really a fair match for a 5’4” 120 lb female.
Is it just me, or does this pathetic fuckstick look like beaker?
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH🙏🙏
They shouldn’t be allowed to shower in the same showers as girls. Pedophile charges will be had.
Awesome!
Not anti trans, it's pro woman.
Now, let's all take a look at his closet. Good people being endlessly at the forefront of these peoples minds is far more disturbing than them having the guts to change a mistake. Why are republican's so focused on everyone's pants anyway?
The MISSISSIPPI governor is so hung up on Donald Trump it is sickening. Get over it Trump ass is gone and so will you, enjoy your last days
Backwards thinking....scared of everything and anything progressive....surprised he isn’t wearing his KKK apparel
👏🙌👏🙌👏🙌
Why aren’t all females 100% supporting this?
I think it's the right decision
Vote tate reeves out of office people. He's a hateful man. No respect for equality. VP POTUS
great news
who really gives a fuck
Hooray for females! Now this is true equality! I think it’s best to eliminate “girls team” and “boys team” and just call it XX team and XY team to avoid any transgender issues. That way it’s fair.
Does Mississippi have many trans women?
Good
This is disgusting!!👎👎👎
Worth noting our capital city just now got running water restored after an outage of nearly a month and the water is still undrinkable
It’s about time this nonsense stopped!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Good
I feel like this is something if put in front of the American people in a vote we’d say no trans women in women’s sports.
Good for Mississippi
This is good, no matter what they put on lipstick DOSEN’t change who they really are (MEN)
Good
Tate seems like a real piece of sh-t
Money in the bank. If you can play of peoples fear of the 'other' you can make bank
Why aren't trans women competing in male sports? I'm sure the answer is clear.
I don't get down with the repugnants on much but I support this 100! Males are genetically superior athletes, athletics begins and ends with fairness, no excuse to let someone who was physically born male have that advantage competing against females.
Haven't they learned anything about past anti-lgbt legislature and how it backfires? I mean look at same sex marriage and their ridiculous fear of it destroying the 'sanctity of marriage and the family unit'. 🤣 This too shall pass.
theres a lot of work to do despite placing gender restrictions on high school and colleges. Like um.. idk climate, energy, and a few others. If your an athlete... you want the best opponent to defeat, regardless.
Johnny who’s now Joan should be able to wrestle with female students considering that there are 6 genders legally approved by Congress. What’s wrong with you, Americans
If women and men athletes were of the same speed, strength and conditioning and all that then..... WOULDN'T THE SPORTS OF TODAY HAVE BOTH PLAYING ON THE SAME TEAM Ask yourselves why do you think that is? Is it because sports are unfair or is it because men are built different?
Thank you Governor!
💔 😕
Good 👍🏽
Yay!!
Who is teeing up the lawsuit
Dam right men is men women is women enough of this foolishness
Despicable.
Thank god
Thank you so much.
That’s discrimination
Just like Trans man, a woman becoming a man will always lose to biological men.
Let's start a transgender league.
Its not really anti trans its just no trans in the sports they identify as
So, if Lebron James changes sexes ans becomes a woman and plays in the WNBA, you folks would be ok with that? I mean he/she scoring 800pts a night because no 'real' woman would be able to stop him/her, you guys would be fine with that
Way to go👍
Oh, those southerners who believe in biology in that women are less strong than men....how dare they?!!!! LOL
A blatant 14th Amendment violation! ACLU file a lawsuit por favor
Pure hate and bigotry!
fuck tater
Good for Mississippi.
Human garbage at it’s finest
tatereeves
Common sense.
You are born either male or female. No matter how you alter that physically, your genetics remain the same sèx you were born. I’m not against trans. Do as you wish. But don’t try interfering on those athletes who choose to remain the sex they came into this world as!!
Mississippi doing the hate thing all over again. BeBetter
They can join the Special Olympics since they’re special people no?
They are biologically different which creates so many physical differences
You mean first Pro-cis woman’s law
Ah, religion. It can do so much good. But in the wrong hands can destroy lives
Mississippi is a backwards state.
Sending a positive message to the cisgender females of Mississippi isn’t problem. Oppressing the transgender community is definitely a problem!
It's about time someone stand for right
Yay! That’s showing true evolution!
WT actual F?
Thank you!
Good
It about time
Excelent
Like there’s a men’s and women’s team make a transgender team. I mean this isn’t that big of an issue.
He probably cross-dresses behind closed doors l
HOORAY!!!!!! I'm for that!!!! I will certainly support this fellow.
Good, biological males should not compete against biological females
It’s 2021, not 1901
So transgender women can't compete is women's sports but can transgender men compete in men's sports in Mississippi?!? 🤨
Define 'sports'. Some contact or muscle depend sports, perhaps but depends on the individuals overall physicality, other sports won't make an unfair advantage Name sports that won't affect genders soccer basketball tennis baseball golf running volleyball badminton swimming
What enticed Mississippi to return to its dark past?
Another cave man! Hello! It's 2021 not 1930.
Is this 'fair?'
I'm a progressive and OK with this. Biologically, this would make things very unfair for females born as females.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt lol. Good to go governor.
As it should be.
👎 Tate Reeves. You are wrong Mr Governor.
Good
I have nothing against trans women but I don’t think they should compete in girls/women’s sports.
Men shouldn't play women's sports.
As it should be
About fucking time someone stands up for what is right
I believe that trans people deserve equality and ANYBODY deserves the right to express themselves and be themselves. What I don’t understand is how logic escapes when it comes to sports though? How’s it fair to the other girls that they are competing with a biological male?
Maybe we should put all athletes in one game, man, woman and trans. All together.
So not sure how American people feel about that. But for non Americans I imagine most see the word Mississippi and know what’s coming next. Racist misogynistic backward thinking toothless redneck slave traders proving how idiotic they are.
He must be gay
Meanwhile let’s be real— this is not “anti trans” it is “pro women”
Great tribute to this fine governor.
Is it possible for CNN to separate reporting from editorializing.... “in spite of the fact that trans women athletes in the state are also daughters and are precisely the ones whose rights are being targeted by the new law.”
So does this mean trans men have to compete in women's sports or do they just have a problem with trans women competing in women's sports?
Finally some common sense
Im pro lgbt+ but I approve this. Biological men has obvious anatomical and physiological advantages over women as far as athleticism is concerned. I respect your rights but we also have to protect the integrity of fair competition.
The right decision. If this was not done, men would have identified themselves as women and gone out for the field hickey team.
I’m 35 and I want to compete in teen sports. Will I be allowed?
Time to boycott the schools
Wow, a rare display of common sense in today's world.
The answer is to no longer separate teams by gender. One team, made up of the best athletes. Of course this will mean basically no girls or women on sports teams, but that’s the price of “progress” I suppose 🤷🏼♂️
Now if they could only ban bigoted white douchebags from holding office then we would be in a better place.
Unconstitutional.
Good he is sticking up for our women's rights
Lol Mississippi standing up for the dark ages🙄
How many athletes are there that a LAW was necessary, this is insane bias bullshit, the south needs a major readjustment
It’s not hatred. Transgender athletes shouldn’t be allowed. Men sports and so women sports.
Yes!!!
Good
I'm a Democrat, in no way shape or form should a male compete in a woman's division! Not against Trans in any way, but that's just common sense people, cmon!
wtf
Who is checking everyone.
Die!! ❤️❤️❤️
Also, why don't transgenders create their own sports, games, teams and compete against each other?
Was this a big problem?
What about the opposite? Are transgender athletes allowed to compete in men's sports ?
Its fair
It is NOT an anti-Trans law. It is a law that if you are biological male or female you compete against others with same gender. You have a penis, then you compete against those with a penis, too. Saying you're a woman does not make you a woman.
I'm not surprised a Republican with no scientific data, sports data or social data has made a decision on something that affects a large group of people purely via a emotional reaction. It sickens me that people still react to problems of political policy via emotional reaction
What about LOVER BOY?
Men have no place in women's sports.
Loool una go get sense by force
All states should do this. Trans girls (biolohical male) are physically stronger than biological girls. Period, you cannot change biology regardless of what they say they feel.
What was their reason why?
How awful. I swear these GOP members worry about people’s sexuality than they do about making life better for American citizens.
Instead of the hate let’s do studies on cross gender athletics. Safety is a genuine concern. Especially in teen athletics. Think varsity. 14 to 19 yr olds can compete vs each other. A 19 yr old trans male in a collision with a 14 yr old female? Avoiding the contact could b risky
This seems like common sense 👏👏
Bruh
There is definitely a competitive advantage. 🤷🏾
Time to make their own category like both other genders have !
At last common sense
Is it anti trans or pro woman?
Anti-trans or pro-female?
Regressive Mississippi
Have there been studies done to collect data about males, transitioning by taking hormones etc, still have a physical advantage, and for how long?
HendyLA I'm sure Dre is giddy about this right nkw
Well, it is Mississippi, so....
I would like to compete for scholarships as a minority, even though I’m not one..... I just relate
Cis kids have rights too. This is a victory for all the girls out there who want to compete at a high level against their peers. Start a seperate league for trans kids. Or make sports co-ed.
Hateful & ignorant.
I think it’s fair, sorry, life is not always about happy ending only in Disney movies.
It's a tough one, while trans women should be able to compete with cis women, should isn't the reality, its not fair competition and the whole issue needs work because right now there is no good solution.
'small government republicans'
fucking morron
correct decision
Why is it anti-trans law? Why isn't it pro-women law? To protect women from trans?
