Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf vetoes Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, accuses GOP of bullying
The Washington Times ^ | July 12, 2022 | By Valerie Richardson

Watching the uproar over Lia Thomas play out in his backyard didn’t change Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf‘s mind about transgender athletes in women’s sports.

In a widely expected move, the Democratic governor vetoed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which would have barred male-born athletes who identify as female from joining girls’ and women’s scholastic teams.

In a statement, Mr. Wolf said the bill’s supporters “should be ashamed of themselves.”

“I have been crystal clear during my time in office that hate has no place in Pennsylvania, especially discrimination against already marginalized youth representing less than half of 1 percent of Pennsylvania’s population,” Mr. Wolf said. “The fact that this bill passed through Pennsylvania’s Republican-led General Assembly solely to bully and oppress vulnerable children is atrocious.”

Pennsylvania became the focus of the transgender-athlete debate during the 2021-22 collegiate season as Thomas won races and smashed records on the University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team after competing for three years on the men’s side.

These idiots who throw the term “hate” out there have no idea what hate is. I hope one day to show them up close.

Don’t forget that it was the women’s liberation movement that loudly prolaimed women were equal to men and aimed to prove that a woman can do anything a man can do. Saying it is one thing but proving it? Pretty sad when a man can out-woman a woman. Now if only a man could become pregnant....oh....wait...

Men force themselves into women’s sports.

Of course those who object are the real bullies. /s

There is a virus that is inflicting great harm to certain
brains in America. (for sake of the populace who hasn’t
a clue, I must add, “Sure seems like it to me anyway.”

Tik tok troops maybe. It’s not hate to champion women to compete fairly with other women. That’s the point of men and women competing separately in sports. Your personal identity doesn’t change your essential biological makeup. Young women should not be deprived of opportunity in scholarship or competitive professional sports because men want to participate.

Men are dominating womens sports. There are now only mens and coed sports. Wickedness abounds.

Wolf is the lowlife deviant that gave the country Richard “Rachel” Levine.
