Idaho Senate passes bill prohibiting biological males from competing against women
Washington Examiner ^ | March 17, 2020 | Andrew Mark Miller

The bill, known as the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, or HB 500, will now head back to the House, where lawmakers will vote on a Senate amendment, and will then be delivered to the desk of Republican Gov. Brad Little.

“We are not trying to do anything except save women’s sports for girls and women,” state Sen. Mary Souza said during the closing debate. “It is in the state’s interest. ... There is a third-party group that has been working with us on this bill, and it will be responsible for any legal defense fees.”

Thank God that there’s some sanity amidst all this insanity.

About time. Expect for it to be challenged by some snowflake that can’t compete in male sports.

Looks like the two Moscows - in ID and Russia - are two lonely islands of sanity on gender issues.

Fully agree, just commenting that we litigate our lives to death and thats sad. What ever happened to common law and common sense?

Wait! Implicit in this is the fact F.A.C.T! that women are simply not as strong or fast as men. Physically, women cannot compete. That should blow NOW out of the water!

Does this mean those movies I've seen where the 110 pound anorexic beauty queen takes out a squad of cage fighting Navy Seals. That's not accurate?

how about the one where Jennifer Garner wipes out an entire drug cartel, making snarky comments the whole time...

Thank you Idaho, but why is it needed? If you can’t win as a boy, try harder... Don’t pretend you’re a girl...

Hope this spreads to other states quickly or Idaho is going to be swamped by those fleeing the nutzoid states and we all know which states I’m talking about.

Remove the word “biological” from in front of the word “male.” Male does not need a qualifier. There are no subvarieties of male.

Make it nationwide. It’s only commonsense if there’s still such a thing in America.
