Utah Bans Transgender Athletes in Girls Sports Despite Veto
Newsmax ^ | March 25, 2022

Utah’s Republican lawmakers voted Friday to override GOP Gov. Spencer Cox’s veto of legislation banning transgender youth athletes from playing on girls teams.

Cox’s veto letter drew national attention with a poignant argument that such laws target vulnerable transgender kids who are already at high risk of suicide.

Cox was the second GOP governor this week to overrule state lawmakers on a sports-participation ban amid a nationwide culture war over transgender issues. Business leaders in Utah are also concerned about backlash and lost revenue.

Males competing against females is not fair play, jazz. And hating women is not protecting civil rights, governor. You should be ashamed of yourself. A boy beating up on girls equals government approved hatred of women. No other way to see it.

"a poignant argument that such laws target vulnerable transgender kids who are already at high risk of suicide."

That is an acknowledgment that our sick society and media is creating mentally ill people who need help not further pandering. What these brain washed attention seekers need is a dose of reality so that they can get on with their lives instead of following a path to destruction.

There should be NO TRANSGENDER KIDS! By such acceptance, we have made a generation of mental kids.

Cox is an arse who deserved to be overridden. Just because some dude can't compete as a woman doesn't mean he can't join the glee club, take home economics or whatever.

It isn't about their self-esteem. It is about allowing our daughters to compete on a level playing field.

A 16 year old kid can't self identify as a 10 year old so he can play and dominate Little League Baseball to raise his self-esteem at the expense of the younger kids. This is no different.

You would think Cox might have something better to do than this or soliciting Afghan refugees to settle in his state when home prices are so ridiculously high that young families have little home of buying even a starter home.

“You Leftist HomoMNazis are the ones who put ‘em there.”

Spot on. It is indeed their fault for humoring, encouraging, and accepting people with a mental illness as normal. Waht’s worse, is they expect the rest of us to play along with their lunacy.

Why are not the feminists, who have been so vocal for women's rights in the past, speaking up about males usurping women in our society?

There is no such thing as a transgender person. It is impossible.

make boys who think they are girls compete against other boys who think they are girls. You would see a dramatic drop in the numbers engaged in this scam.

legislation banning transgender youth athletes from playing on girls teams.


Can I just point out again, that this legislation does not ban anyone from participating in sports. The liberal view is that these laws are banning sports participation.

They are not banning anyone. They are saying that you must compete on the teams of one’s biological sex. Nobody is being banned from anything.

Why does Cox and the lunatic left think it’s ok for fake girls to discriminate against real girls?

The trannies are suicidal because it’s part of their mental illness. Giving in to their temper tantrum doesn’t help the suicidal tendency, it makes it worse.

Id be more concerned about all the girl athletes at high risk of suicide ...

What child wants to know their hard work will lead to nothing ???

Without a reward for achievement why bother ???

An A+ student is that because they got the A for the work and study etc

What motivation would a girl have for anything if the prize is given to someone from another ineligible group ???

You get a transgender male MMA competing against a female and he will beat the living hell out of her. To the left, that is fairness.
