Republican Tate Reeves said the ban will"protect young girls from being forced to compete with biological males."JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves said Thursday he will soon sign a bill to ban transgender athletes from competing on girls’ or women’s sports teams in the state’s schools and universities.
Reeves said on Twitter that the bill would “protect young girls from being forced to compete with biological males for athletic opportunities.” Mississippi Republican Gov. Tate Reeves delivers a televised address prior to signing a bill retiring the last state flag with the Confederate battle emblem during a ceremony at the Governor's Mansion in Jackson, Mississippi, on June 30, 2020. Upon signing the bill, the flag looses its official status.
“My daughter isn’t comfortable playing with the boys because she’s not a boy and she never has been a boy,” Binstead said.
Spoiler: the GOP does not care about girls' sports opportunities
IF this ever becomes a problem, we could find solutions depending on the sport. Golf has handicaps, boxers have weight divisions, lighter jockeys carry extra lead weights, etc. Being tall gives basketball players an advantage, but no one says that’s unfair.
So you basically think that girls are not capable of beating boys? Screw that. You think your daughters can't compete with a male? I wonder what they think of your complete lack of confidence in them. This is offensive to trans, to females, and to males. Good god.
tatereeves tell you what: I’ll sponsor a bill to protect ignorant, sexist politicians from being forced to compete with educated, conscious, informed elected leaders. This ban would level your playing field. Fair is fair. See how ludicrous your transgender athlete ban is?
God could these people solve a real problem for a change?
