Texas Gov. Abbott Signs Bill Keeping Male-born Athletes Out of Women’s Collegiate Sports

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott extended the state’s ban on male-born competitors in female scholastic sports by signing legislation to include collegiate athletics.

Flanked by state lawmakers and female athletes, the Republican signed Senate Bill 15, which builds on the state’s 2021 law prohibiting biological males from participating in girls’ sports in K-12 public schools.

“Today is an important day for female athletes across the state of Texas, including little girls who aspire to one day compete in college sports,” Mr. Abbott said. “The Save Women’s Sports Act protects young women at Texas colleges and universities by prohibiting men from competing on a team or as an individual against them in college sports.”

The Texas Freedom Network ripped the legislation as “yet another harmful attack from anti-LGBTQ lawmakers on transgender Texans’ right to be embraced, accepted, and able to thrive.”

The bill passed the Republican-controlled Senate with no Democrat votes. A dozen Democrats voted for the bill in the GOP-led House.

Twenty-two states have passed laws barring male-born athletes from female sports at the secondary-school level or college, or both, according to the American Principles Project.

Good that Texas has joined the 22 other states in extending the banning of biological men from competing in women's sports. Hopefully there will be a new administration in 2024 that will make the ban nationwide. Allowing men to compete in women's sports defies common sense.

Texas Gov. Abbott Signs Bill Keeping Male-born Athletes Out of Women’s Collegiate Sports!

If DNA can put you in jail for the rest of your life or free you from jail.

Then, it can easily end these ridiculous/insane debates over what is a woman and whether a man can get pregnant.

Ancestry Science via DNA doesn’t switch the mothers with the fathers or vice versa in your family tree.

Nor does it consider an imaginary sexual phantasy by some insane Trans Psycho!

Nor does it consider the Trans sex deniers as reality

Hey Trans Sexual Sex deniers - your B$ days are numbered!

We will have real DNA science on our side and common sense will return if we fight hard enough.

It will not be based on some deranged sexual phantasy wet dreams by mentally ill weirdos!!!

Some dumass judge will someday rule the child could not have known if they were male or female yet because too young to choose their identity. Then the dumass republicans lose again because of poor law writing. Easiest thing is make it based on chromosomes XX or XY. Problem solved and iron clad.

Does anyone on FR have a list of these 22 states?

Yes. Passing such a law shouldn’t even be necessary, but we are far down the leftist rabbit hole.

The trans premise is “born in the wrong body.”

That is a tacit admission that a male who thinks he is a female has a male body. Hormones and surgery can’t change that.

Persons with male bodies obviously should not participate in physical competitions with females.

 And, in a few mere minutes or hours, some FEDERAL judge somewhere will make a 'ruling' that...


The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.[6]

The hand-written copy of the proposed Bill of Rights, 1789, cropped to show only the text that would later be ratified as the Tenth Amendment

Just create a third division, Tran Sports, and if any women want to compete in it because they identify as men, let them.

If there are illegals, blame the ones who are at fault....Biden and his disgusting administration. Gov. Abbott is doing all he can with no help except for some troops from various states. I cut him some slack.

We need a law that doesn’t permit race horses to compete in women’s running events.
