Kentucky gov. vetoes bill banning boys from competing in girls' sports; Republicans may override veto
Christian Post ^ | 04/08/2022 | Michael Gryboski

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has vetoed a bill that would prohibit boys from competing in girls’ sports, arguing in part that the measure was unnecessary in light of scholastic sports standards.

The Democrat governor vetoed Senate Bill 83 on Wednesday, saying in a veto message that he believed the standards of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association were sufficient.

These standards, according to Beshear, require student-athletes to participate in the sports that corresponded with the sex listed on their birth certificate, with some exceptions given to students who have purportedly undergone "sex reassignment after puberty" by taking cross-sex hormones.

The governor claimed that this allows trans-identified students to fairly compete against girls: “KHSAA has approached the issue of transgender sports participation with nuance, collaboration and a sense of fairness that would allow transgender children the opportunity to participate in sports without disturbing the competitive balance."

It’s just beyond my comprehension that anyone could support this, or that a politician would think this is a winning strategy.

The women’s basketball coach at UK should recruit two 6’8” men basketball players and 2 good men guards to play on the women’s team. They could win a lot of games, look around, and win the NCAA Final Four. That would end this foolishness.

This is the state that continually re-elects Mitch McConnell, King of the Assistant Democrats.

Uncle Andy is a waste of space. I figure his election was a dry run of what they did to Trump. He’s surrounded by republicans that can pretty easily override every veto.

And this one SHOULD be a no brainer, or a test to see how many deep state republicans we have.

This idiocy of “identifies as X” has got to end. Why would anyone indulge such buffoonery is beyond me. Even Lincoln had the anecdote about the tail of a cat to illustrate the nonsense 150 years ago. Just don’t accept it in any form. There are many more of us than them.

At least we’re not the state that re-elects collins or Romney. So we got that going for us. Which is nice. 😂

I remember when the simple phrase “boys will be boys” was like a self-evident truth conveying an everyday understanding of human nature and the nature of boys.

Which is yet another reason why these demonrat sex agendas bother me so much, that and why we are to ignore so many self-evident truths.

I know I’ve read about this tactic or whatever it is in history and in fiction, and have seen it done on small and large screens, but now to live it, and to watch them force our girls to endure it, is really pissing me off.

Maybe God will turn this thing around, because we sure can’t do it with so many demonrats blocking the way.

It’s the Assistant Democrats who purport to be Republicans that are the real problem.

South Carolina hold the title for stupidest voters, having re-elected Flimsey Grahamnesty TWICE after THREE amnesty votes.

Mitch McConnell is almost as bad. But hopefully, your legislature will smack down this imbecile as quickly as Utah’s legislature smacked down his assistant Democrat counterpart.

Governor is a Democrat. Democrats do what Democrats do.

The left wants dozens of different genders, except when it comes to sports.

Total goobledygook. XX and XY is all there is, except for the very rare hermaphrodite. If either want to play with their own chromosome types when they reach adulthood, fine, just get the f*ck out of my face...and

LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE.

The ledt, and even some o mthe right, rinos, are coming out of the closet and declaring their pedo intentions for the world to see. They nk longer even try to hide their perversions. They are trying to force everyone to,accept their perversions and to stop opposing them.

Thr man of lawlessness may be being unleashed. Whenit happens, all of,the sickest and most immoral and vile sins will be accepted without question, for thise that do will be imprisoned for “hate speech “
