After fleeing from it, Miss. finally addresses girls-only sports (Mississippi Fairness Act)
One News Now ^ | February 4, 2021 | OneNewsNow.com Staff

A bill in Mississippi to prevent biological males from competing in female-only sports is making its way through the state senate, marking another state taking action in a cultural and legal battle over biological boys crushing female athletes in the name of equality.

The bill, called the Mississippi Fairness Act, is sponsored by state Sen. Angela Burks Hill, a Republican lawmaker also known for her pro-life legislation.

Hill has introduced the Fairness bill for several years only to watch it die in committee but now the legislation, known as Senate Bill 2536, has passed two committees and is now up for debate on the senate floor.

Dr. Jameson Taylor of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy predicts the legislation will pass before February 11, the legislative deadline, because it is a “common-sense bill” on a topic that has “broad support” from the public.

Hill Taylor points to a poll of Mississippi voters, conducted by Mason-Dixon, that found 79 percent said they would support a state law banning biological males from competing against females.

Yet the Mason-Dixon poll shows Mississippi voters, asked to pick a side, are siding with girls rather than biological boys. The survey shows 87% of Republicans and 65% of Democrats agreed it was unfair for transgender females to compete in female-only sports.

The biggest losers in the Transgender Age are women. Women have been pushed to the back of the bus yet again.

Good news there. But I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if some federal judge strikes the whole thing down.

I’d love to see what this group of Supreme Court Judges would do with the issue.

“Hill Taylor points to a poll of Mississippi voters, conducted by Mason-Dixon, that found 79 percent said they would support a state law banning biological males from competing against females.”

We need to SHOVE THIS ISSUE IN THEIR FACES, just as Rand Paul did yesterday in the Senate hearing. If they want to support this crap, let’s make sure that EVERY VOTER knows it.

And NO, it is not a ‘divisive’ issue as the Gay Mafia (Republican Leadership) claims - not when 79% of the public is on one side.

When you got 79%, you are absolutely correct.

You can probably count me among the 13%.

I've said for years that separate sports leagues for men and women in the public sphere have no place in a political/legal system where "equality" is enshrined as a fundamental principle.

In our current environment, separate sports teams for men and women are no different than segregated buses or public bathrooms.

Let the radical feminists reap what they sow.

Girls' sports in public schools will disappear, and then boys' sports will soon follow because the schools will not be able to face the consequences of what they've done.

So if this trend continues, in a few years white people should be able to “identify as black”, then collect all the federal bucks for minority-owned businesses, and use them to crush any actual minority-owned business in the marketplace.

What a glorious day for the Civil Rights struggle that will be.

I think I remember reading that Gorbachev and Kavanaugh were gay friendly and I assume that means trans friendly too. We do know that many In the sc are scared of appearing politically incorrect, which they proved for the world to see over the electio. Fraud issue, fearing blm.

Satan has much influence in the lives of those who don’t give their lives to God and to upholding the truth. They don’t outright worship Satan, but they are just as blinded by his lies as if they did

Women are more than 50% of eligible voters and are getting the “equality” they demanded. What’s their complaint? If everybody’s equal, why are there separate men’s and women’s sports anyway?

So true. Real women are being forced to let mentally ill men pretend to be them.

Black people didn’t put up with Cuckoo-for-Coco-Puffs Rachel Dolezal pretending to be one of them, yet women are expected to play along when some Looney Tune dude wants to pose as one of them. And almost invariably these guys’ schtick as women is a parody of femininity with an exaggerated false bust, over-the-top hair & makeup, etc. It’d analogous to Rachel Dolezal not only pretending to be black but also hamming it up as the most stereotypically “ghetto” person you could imagine.

If I self-identify as a child do I have the right to play on a little league team?
