Are you sure the bill didn't ban biological males from competing in biological female sports?

He's a real man who does what he knows is best and doesn't care about what the histerical idiot SJW losers have to say.

He should’ve banned people who use wheelchairs from participating in sports unless they were born with a disability. Dumba$$es who run during storms shouldn’t get special treatment

Sounds like you've got a little crush Steve.

Correction: public schools female sports. It also only applies to those sports which represent their gender alignment, not all sports.

Very strange letsrun supports equity in sports but not in science, media or other Work places

Anything that starts with whatever Texas is doing probably means it's not a model that should be used anywhere else.

Sports can mean a hell of a lot to kids. Don’t pass laws that make it so they can’t play.

This is motivated by hate, plain and simple.

Isn't that what a "transgender girl" is? A biological male (i.e., has a penis and testicles) but identifies as a girl?

Thank God there are some rational politicians left in the World...

The law doesn't prevent kids from playing. It simply says that they should participate in the competition category established for their biological gender, not who they think they are.

This is dumb. Dudes are already not allowed to play in girls sports. There is no such thing as transgender girls.

Right, if you are a extreme leftist weirdo loser. Yes, that would make sense for sure.

Dudes playing on the girls team is wrong. It’s self-evident to any sane person.

I can understand a rule like this at the professional or college level, but c'mon, this is high school. These aren't elite athletes trying to win Olympic medals. They are kids trying to participate in an event that is as much social and educational as athletic. The competition itself isn't even the point for the 99% of high school kids who are't going D1 in their sport. Is it too much to ask to let children play how they want to? You'll all have plenty of time to "put them in their place" as you see fit once they're grown, I promise.

LOL......Abbott is a real lying biased prejudiced idiot. He is about to be rolled out of office for all the BS decisions he has made.

Banned abortions and put bounties on the heads of anyone who assists anyone having an abortion.

Let anyone have any firearm without a license carry, it anywhere they basically want unless a business owner verbally tells you that you can't have it in their place of business. Everyone knew this was coming as he previously made it illegal for any college in Texas to ban firearms on its campus. He somehow thinks more armed people make you safer. It is the total opposite. America is one of the most dangerous countries with most guns. Japan has very few guns and only averages a dozen firearm deaths annually.

He wanted to build a wall around the Mexico/Texas border, which is illegal, as states have zero authority over federal matters and immigration.

He has suppressed voter access and pushed over the top anti-voting laws that make it easier for officials to stop people from exercising their right to vote.

He made it illegal for any entity in the state to have a mask mandate during the worst pandemic in 100 years. (Covid19 is the 3rd leading cause of death in America and Texas)

He made it illegal for any entity in the state to have a Covid19 vaccine mandate. So with no masks and no vaccines, he literally wants Texans to die.

You may recall in June of 2020, this idiot re-opened Texas for business and Covid19 spiked to all time highs in the state and caused over 10,000 deaths. He had to shut down again. Idiot who literally caused death.

He said any municipality that reduced its police budget, would get its state funding reduced. He doesn't understand what defund the police is. In almost every city, the police is the largest line item in the budget. Notice he didn't issue and executive order if a city reduces it budget for streets and sanitation, or parks, or libraries, or schools. But the police...oh my god!

Told the Mayor of Austin, if he didn't clean up and stop homelessness in the city, that he and the state department of public safety would. Abbott's problem was that he saw homeless people in Austin on his way to work downtown. He literally has not come up with anything to help or combat homelessness in Austin or anywhere else in Texas, other than run his mouth.

As for banning transgender girls/sex change/ or whatever you want to call it, from playing sports....really? Seriously...how many boys are transgender in Texas? 0.008% ? And of the limited number of them, how many actually want to play sports in middle school or high school? Waste of time law.

True.

This thread, like many before it, proves Chappelle's point about what is culturally acceptable in this country. There are plenty of threads with racist remarks that will always be there, but threads like this one, pointing out the obvious issues of having biological men play in women's leagues, will be deleted.

The gun stuff is the only thing in your list that is bad. All of the rest are pretty great decisions.
