A Utah House committee voted Thursday in favor of a bill that would bar transgender girls from competing in female sports in public and private K-12 schools — even as a legislative attorney warned there was “significant risk” a court could find the law unconstitutional.
Titled “preserving sports for female students,” the legislation from Rep. Kera Birkeland would require schools to categorize all athletic activities as “male,” “female,” or “coed.” Students of the “male sex” would not be permitted to join in sporting events designated as being for women, according to the bill, which defines sex as the “biological, physical condition of being male or female, determined by an individual’s genetics and anatomy at birth.”
HB302, which passed after two hours of debate with an 8-6 vote on Thursday, does not address transgender boys, who it appears would not be barred from participating in athletic activities with boys’ teams under the bill. It also does not contemplate people who are intersex, or who are born with both male and female traits.
Birkeland, R-Morgan and a junior varsity basketball coach for the girls’ team at Morgan High School, has said she sees the bill as a way to improve “fairness and equality with women’s sports.”
“Across America there are stories of individuals who identified as male at birth competing against our female athletes,” she told the House Education Committee on Thursday. “These individuals who identify as male at birth are breaking records that no female will be able to reach. They’re taking championships, titles and scholarships from our female athletes. To say it’s taking a toll on our female athletes would be an understatement.”

“Controversial”?
How, exactly?
Controversial? I think common sense is more appropriate.
The bill is hardly controversial in Utah. The idea that you would allow “transgender” males to participate in girls sports is highly controversial.
Should be: “Utah House committee forwards controversial bill barring boys from female sports”
Controversial? I think common sense is more appropriate.
EXACTLY.
“Controversial” only if you are an evil, amoral libtard. . . .
Who considers a bill banning transgenders from female sports “controversial”?
IN THE RACE FOR HOUSE SEATS EVERYONE RUNNING UNDER THE DEMON-O-CRAT LABEL VOTED FOR THESE TWO ISSUES
ABORTION FUNDING SUPPORT AND THIS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE USED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RACES BUT WAS NOT
FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports...Any Dem congressman who didn’t support this got kicked out by holding their primary in remapped districts.This effort by those in control of the demo party shpould have been used to demonstrate where that party is coming from. Why weren’t those votes an issue in this 2020 campaign by the Republicans ? Not just where this occurred but nationally?
.. Democratic candidate for America’s Vice President California and likely presidential replacement Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.
In March 2019, Harris cosponsored the Equality Act, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls

.. HERE’S HOW THEY TREATED CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS WHO DONT SUPPORT FUNDING STUFF LIKE THIS
.. And why there is no such thing as a Conservative Dem in Congress An example is Illinois 3rd district
..
Todays Democrats weren’t happy with this father then son votes against abortion and the son’s being the only congressional democrat to vote NO on allowing men to to call themselves a women and compete with women in college sports. To stop this the demoncrats decided to remap the areas which supported them for their 2020 primary.
The ward (the 23rd) and the congressional district formerly the 5th which they changed into being the 3rd Illinois congressional by taking ward areas which had areas dominated by hispanic fore names and placed them into the Louis Gutierez district.
In the reshaped 3rd Congressional district primary Daniel Lipinski lost because of this redistricting. Of a district which had previously included adjacent Chicago city wards to his 23rd. which was “re-mapped in 2012 after former alderman and ward committeeman now congressman William O Lipinski annouced his retirement and wanted his son for his congressional replacement .
The remap was replacing ward boundaries of the 14th known as the stockyards which had experienced extensive demographic changes. They chopped up and placed sections of streets and blocks that were not only in the 23rd but the of adjacent 12th and 15th wards and made them the 14th ward
Now because Chicago alderman oversee routing of such things as garbage collections and getting city services . Some have complained of seeing rodents since as well as complained of poor road maintenance on their block. Because with this remap if your residence was in one ward your neighbor across the street or a block down is might be in another ward
.. The 5th was a district in the 1950’s which was a part of the third largest school district in the country run by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. Those city wards were primarily composed of dozens of traditional value family oriented Catholic/Christian communities centered around their churches and their schools. Hence opposed to funding such things as abortion and LGBT activities rather for issues that dealt exclusively with city issues such as a subway L service and the Stevenson Expressway.
These Wards once were reliable supporters of Dan’s father, William O Lipinski. But after the 2012 redistricting the number of precincts in the 23rd were cut back to 39 and even their ward headquarters location was stuck in another ward.
And where many wards had areas with Hispanic last names those areas were redistricted and assigned to the Louis Gutieriez’s district. In areas where buildings were abandoned affected by the no money down home mortgages or had changed because of this. The ward such as the 14th known as Back of The Yards because of the former stock yards which has since relocated was remapped to include portions of other wards mainly the 23rd which Those results actually tear up the concept of a neighborhood and pit people against each other by using division.
In some of those wards areas of city blocks which were zoned exclusively for single family dwellings residents suddenly found their neighborhood having houses torn down and being replaced with multiple apartments with the units not required to furnish parking facilities and many renters were illegals. Much of which fit the plans for the suburbs

They are not “transgender girls”, they are boys.
Let’s get into court asap. USSC if necessary.
Will there be transgender athletes in the US Olympic team? If so would they be allowed to compete in the games? How about the WNBA?
RE: Will there be transgender athletes in the US Olympic team?
Didn’t Bruce ( Now known as Caitlyn ) Jenner win Gold in the Olympic Decathlon?
Not controversial.
No such thing as a transgender girl. No such thing as a transgender boy, either. They are making stuff up. Listen guys, if you’re such a loser that you have to compete with girls to win then you should choose another activity. If you’re just a fag, then be a fag. Own it. You will never become the opposite sex. I don’t care what you “identify as”. That isn’t real either.
1. What is “controversial” about it?
2. They are not “transgender girls”. They are boys. They have the strength and muscle density of boys.
3. I didn't even realize Utah news papers are run by woke far left lunatics too.
If it has a dick, it’s not a chick.
If the kid has XX chromosomes, they play girl’s sports...
If the kid has XY chromosomes, they play boy’s sports...
It doesn’t matter who/what they THINK they are.......
PERIOD!!!!! END OF STORY......
In stark contrast to the rights that the early states famously expressly constitutionally protected in the Bill of Rights, regardless of the desperate Democratic politically correct, pro-LGBT, vote-buying agenda, it remains that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called LGBT “rights.”
So Democrats have no constitutionally enumerated LGBT protections, or any likewise enumerated “right” to murder unborn children for that matter, that they can throw at Utah or any state through Section 1 of the 14th Amendment for barring either politically correct transgender “girls” from female sports or abortion.
Hey, any good Leftist will tell you that if you insist on discussing XX chromosomes and XY chromosomes, then you are a science denier.
