I stand with the governor , We dont need more laws, or a bigger government. If they want swinging schlongs in womens sports, then it aint women's sports anymore, and your daughter should find something else to do.

a very loud, vocal group of women brought this on themselves while men stood by knowing the women were going to screw themselves in the end, Because you can't argue with stupid

He signed Constitutional Carry and kicked this back to the legislators, who are free, and gearing up to, override. I’m fairly certain he knew they would/will.

My solution: rename the categories from “male” and “female” to “biological male” and “biological female”.

So silly sports programs designed to accommodate inferior athletes (women) are more important to you than the right to keep and bear arms?

That pretty much reinforces my view that America doesn’t even exist anymore.

The Republican governor of Indiana has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited biological males who identify as female to participate in female sporting competitions, expressing multiple concerns about the proposed legislation.

Maybe Indiana will be the first state a boxing or martial arts event ends up with a girl or woman getting killed by one of these things. Then what concerns will the governor express?

So it’s the governor’s fault if some dingbat climbs into a boxing ring to fight a man? LOL.

Watching people argue about men in women's sports is akin to watching the monty python dead bird sketch. Except the parties involved are dead serious about their side of the argument.

Yes it does!

Well , its wearing a wig.

Not really.

Not really?

Yes, not really because its pine'n to be a woman.

This Holcomb guy was Pence's running mate in the governor's race in 2016 before Pence withdrew to be Trump's running mate.

He does not have to face the voters again until 2024.

Here's hoping the primaries this year purge every RINO who must face the voters and make the other traitors who are safe until 2024 quake in their boots.

What you propose is very unfair to females. Having all compete in the same team would mean that no females would ever be able to be on a team. Males are simply stronger, faster, etc. than any woman.

So, taxpayers would spend all their athletic money only on the males? Totally unfair.

I do think there are some issues that radical feminists have aggravated, such as insisting that there be equal number of sports teams for boys and girls in schools. Not very sensible IMHO.

Can’t we use a bit more common sense? I expect to see reasonable arguments here on FR, and fortunately most fit that description. However, there are a few here who sound like mysogynists in their views of any females in sports. They may not mean it that way, but it comes across that way.

“It’s the government’s fault that my adult daughter/sister/girlfriend voluntarily climbed into a boxing ring against a man and got her ass kicked.”

That’s the kind of thing I would expect to hear from pathetic misfits and losers.

It has no place on a website dedicated to the protection of freedom and liberty.

Jarwulf is 100% correct.

Getting taxpayers out of the business of subsidizing these stupid scholastic sports programs fixes the “unfair” problem entirely.

Not the first time this RINO piece has bucked the legislature over reasonable bills.

"Indiana lawmakers override third governor veto this session"
May 11, 2021

The majority of Indiana’s legislature is siding against Governor Eric Holcomb once again this session.

Lawmakers voted to override Holcomb’s veto for the third time in 2021.

This time it was over a law giving local elected leaders oversight on health department orders during public emergencies.

What does the Birth Certificate say? They SHOULD say Male or Female. Anything else is flat denial of reality and provably so.

When I played Pee Wee sports, I supplied my BC. When I got my Drivers License, a BC. Now some will say “why should a BC be required to be biologically accurate”? To make sure Boys go to girls prisons, boys register for the draft, boys play sports with boys and girls play with girls. Women DESERVE to play in an all female sports league as do men. For that matter, men deserve to have all male clubs, gyms, locker rooms, showers, swimming days at a pool etc. At the VFW we had a womens auxiliary for wives of veterans. Veterans had priority no matter the sex of individuals. All were members, but treated differently, as were children of veterans. Allowed, but under different rules. The same should apply to all.

The argument that one male who “says he is female” to go to prison, or access to the females locker room is specious. The ONE can go hang with the boys, for the safety of the girls. That applies to locker rooms, dressing rooms, sports and prisons.

In Washington State a fully functioning male claiming to be a female trans, was placed in the womens prison and began raping women. The women had no way to protect themselves from him, and he ended up with a young girl who was immature to control and bunk with.

The reasoning was, that he would be in danger in a mens prison. That reasoning is also wrong and ignorant. The law or rule endangers many women, while it protects the one guy from being harrassed, beaten or molested in a mens prison. The answer to that is TOUGH TEATIES. You don’t change the entire society, to accomodate mentally ill people, which is exactly what people are who deny their sex.

Let them cross dress, let them live their lives as they want, but PROTECT children, adults and society from those pretending to be trans. Just as we protect them from other potentially dangerous people. Not to say cross dressers are dangerous, it is those who pretend to be one thing but are another, and seek to normalize it and recruit others.
