After more than ten hours of debate, the Texas House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday night requiring transgender public school athletes to compete on teams that match their birth gender, not the gender they identify with. The controversial bill, which passed with a 76-54 vote, now goes to the state Senate.
Introduced by Representative Valoree Swanson, the measure restricts the athletes to playing on teams that match the biological sex listed on an official birth certificate issued at or close to the time of the student's birth. A modified birth certificate would only be accepted if it had been changed "to correct a clerical error," the bill states....
Critics called the legislation an "immoral and hateful bill" that attacks transgender people, and pushed back on the claims of an uptick in requests for action by the UIL, saying there haven't been any complaints.

I think boys who think they are girls should compete only against other boys who think they are girls. Girls who think they are boys should only be allowed to compete against other girls who think they are boys.
The left says they are - and if you disagree, expect to have your career and personal life destroyed.
XX=female. XY=male. Follow the science. Nothing controversial about that.
“Controversial”...
We are doomed as a culture and society when something like this is considered “controversial”.
Rugby has rules against women on men’s teams and vice-versa. Don’t know how this man got to play with the women. It is a safety factor.
Controversial is when boys compete against girls.
At some point, a young lady or girl is going to be killed or become a quadriplegic with this crap. Why aren’t more women fighting this? Instead, feminists keep chasing the evil-white-male-keeping-them-down fantasy...
I can’t imagine anyone voting against what is obviously “right” and “just” and “reality”. X is X and Y is Y. They are NOT interchangeable.
The nazis let a man run as a woman in the 1936 Olympics. Search for the name Henrich-Dora Ratjen and you will get an eye full.
I got 30 days in Facebook jail for posting that.
Zuck has a heart on for trannies and gays.
AMEN
“76-54 vote”
Unreal that 54 voted against.
Exactly. Words have a gender. Humans have a sex.
The normies should quit cooperating with the cra-cras and stop using the word gender when what they mean is the human’s sex; male or female.
God Bless Texas!
Simply recognizing reality is “controversial.”
IMHO the only thing controversial about the bill is that it was needed.
================================================================Yep, you have to be liberal, to see this legislation as controversial. To the rest of us, it just seems like common sense legislation to keep the sexes separate in sports.
Absolutely -
What was an absolute given 10 minutes ago suddenly it’s controversial - that’s how quickly our culture is rotting.
Of course, also consider the source.
Soooo..... the question is: Who are the 54 freaks that voted against this bill?
