The state’s Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the legislation into law on Friday, joining Mississippi and Arkansas in protecting girl’s sports.
“I signed the bill to preserve women’s athletics and ensure fair competition,” Gov. Lee posted on Twitter. “This legislation responds to damaging federal policies that stand in opposition to the years of progress made under Title IX and I commend members of the General Assembly for their bipartisan work.”

Naturally, the bill sparked outrage from the left who claim that the law is discriminatory. The ACLU has already threatened lawsuits if the law is enforced.
“Governor Lee’s rush to discriminate against transgender children is appalling. Transgender people have the right to participate in sports consistent with who they are, just like everyone else. Denying this right is pure discrimination,” the ACLU stated. “Should any student be excluded because of this shameful legislation, we will see him in court.”
At least 21 states are seeking to protect girls sports, however, as it has been repeatedly proven that the biological differences between the two genders create an unfair playing field. These states are seeking to protect their students after Joe Biden pushed through an executive order saying transgender students must be allowed to play on whatever team they want — unless a state law contradicts it.
So, what are Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas going to do if the NCAA bans their colleges from joining any sports for refusing to conform to their rules?
South Dakota? Nicki, where are you?
But South Dakota’s Gov. Cutie Gnome choked and vetoed their bill.
RE: South Dakota? Nicki, where are you?
There ain’t no Nicki in South Dakota. There’s one in South Carolina though.
The rebellion has started.
Leadership is breaking out.
Oh, my. See what you’ve done Kristi? Now when I think of you I’m putting you in the same bucket as Nikki Haley.
How the mighty have fallen.
Secede. It's been done before in those states.
Secede.
That has a beautiful sound to it.......
Awesome Tennessee!
"Who they are" is males pretending to be girls or girls pretending to be male. And that's who they should be participating with.
I Agree. This is one of the The Radical Left’s huggable issues that I can’t see nearly all of those that voted for Trump giving an inch on. The RADICALS in the ACLU be damned! The NCAA be damned. Courts be damned! Girls and Boys can’t physically compete and the girls (daughters) must be protected.
I live in Tennessee and applaud this. I’m just wondering when the law suits start flying. Perhaps early Monday morning.
My extended family in Tennessee are all going to applaud this.
Bravo Governor!
Tell the NCAA to go pound sand!
If enough states PROTECT their FEMALE ATHELETES then the NCAA (if there is any intelligence there) will start genetic testing to determine who is FEMALE versus MALE.
If the NCAA refuses to do so, they can just earn their DARWIN AWARD and go EXTINCT!
Ping
Yeah.
