DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa legislators on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that would prohibit transgender females from participating in girls high school sports and women’s college athletics, sending a divisive bill likely to draw legal challenges to the governor.

Iowa legislators on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that would prohibit transgender girls from participating in girls sports, sending a divisive bill likely to draw legal challenges to the governor.

Gov. Kim Reynolds last year lobbied lawmakers to pass a similar measure but it failed to advance. The Republican governor continues to support the idea, and if she signs the bill Iowa will join 10 other GOP-run states with such laws.

The state Senate approved the bill Wednesday 31-17, days after the House passed it on a 55-39 vote. Only Republicans supported the measure.

Opponents argue it is state-sanctioned bullying of transgender children. Supporters claimed it was needed to protect female athletes against unfair competition by males who identify as females, though there are few examples of such cases across the country.

Good. Crazy shouldn’t have a say in what’s considered normal.

Also racist, exclusionary, and intersectional.

The proper term for “transgender females” is “Mengelized men.”

One testicle denier is too many. The children and parents should seek mental help.

The Leftist Democrats got mental hospitals shuttered for "humanitarian" reasons in the '70s and '80s. All you have to do is look on the streets of even small American towns to see they're needed again.

How are athletic records supposed to be shattered if we don’t let men compete?

Do away with men’s and women’s sports. Have “XX” and “XY” sports. DNA determines where an individual competes. Same goes for bathrooms. Problem solved.

Iowa Gov. Reynolds just said a few hours ago that she will sign the bill.

A lot of people think that’s why they got the hospitals closed in the first place, to make sure they had ready access to followers.
