Gov. Noem says she will work with legislative leaders to schedule a special legislative session in late May or early June of this year to resolve the issue through legislation, along with other pending matters in the state.

...people assigned female at birth.


They weren’t “assigned female at birth” ... they were assigned female at conception.

Trump had the same kind of conservative meltdown at first, until we learned to watch and pay attention. This is actually a good step for the Governor.

GOD made plans for each of us even BEFORE we were born. Changing genders is not one of them.

How so? She didn’t sign a legally flawed bill into law, she then signs EO’s to do what a good piece of legislation would have done and is going to call the legislature back into session to fix their flawed bill. All that sounds like a good Governor doing a good job. What good would signing the bill have done if it was just going to be ruled unconstitutional by the courts? Start using your brain to think instead of using it to emote.

The language used is awkward sometimes.

Assigned female at birth? They make it sound as if such an “assignment” is an arbitrary designation, and that we as a society are denying the gender identity possibilities as that baby grows up.

Why? If the purpose is to ban transgenders from Women’s Sports will this not do the job?

No. It bans males from competing with females

No, sex doesn't get "assigned" until the birth certificate is created.

Sex is, of course, determined at conception.

Both posts, your and mine, are needlessly petty.

“Assigned female at birth” - that’s NPR all right, desperately framing the matter so they can’t lose. Doctors don’t have quotas, they do have eyes.

I agree. Seems like the E.O.s are a patch for a flawed bill, and she has announced plans to fix the problem legislatively.

What is there about this that (some) people just cannot accept? God assigned gender to each of us before we were born & God makes no mistakes. Those hypocrites who think HE does will have a huge awakening coming at some point & hopefully it will come while they are still living.

The only thing that appears to be happening is the Governor is not falling in to the trap of "DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!"

It appears that Governor has looked at the legal side of the issue and won't step in to the trap of setting the state up for a legal battle in the courts that the state would lose.

I think she means “what it says on the birth certificate”.

This may not work for people born in the last few years, but this will do for now. By the time they are old enough to participate, either sanity will have returned, WWII will have made the point moot, or a good bill will be produced.

You are probably correct. A innocuous poison pill that kills the whole bill and results in the opposite intention of the bill forever.

I am in strong agreement with you on that.
