Two years ago, I was SO disappointed that Noem killed the SD bill that would have banned transgender women and girls from female sports in SD. Then later she issued weaker executive orders that include restrictions. That was nothing but political face-saving.

She initially said she was excited to sign the bill, but found herself caught in a political mess, facing tough lobbying from business interests and legal threats. She then caved.

That’s the dead give-away for a donor controlled GOPe.

Ignore what they say. Watch what they do.

Still way too many on FR who are:

1). fooled by speeches, while ignoring actions and donors

2). believe in “electionism” and popular support, rather than realizing that institutional captue is more important

The South Dakota "transgender sports bill" was nothing but overblown, virtue-signaling nonsense. I said at the time that it was a solution in search of a problem, as there was no evidence that even a single school in South Dakota at the time was dealing with any controversy related to stunted misfit boys who wanted to play with girls in scholastic sports.

Interestingly, I saw a report posted here on FR within the last couple of weeks about the disturbing increase of young people who self-identify as "transgender" in the U.S. According to the report, the number of "transgender" people increased from 2018 to 2023 in every U.S. state except one -- and that one is South Dakota.

If nothing else, Kristi Noem should be given serious consideration for VP candidate because she's a normal person who is governor of a state full of normal people.
