PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota House on Tuesday passed two bills aimed at transgender students, seeking to restrict which bathrooms K-12 trans children can use and which sports teams trans girls and college-age women can join.

A ( proposal from Republican Gov. Kristi Noem) to ban transgender women and girls from playing in school sports leagues, including college athletes, that match their gender identity cleared its final hurdle in the Legislature with its passage in the House. Meanwhile, a proposal to ban transgender children from using school restrooms that match their gender identity was headed to the Senate.

Advocates for transgender people decried the passage of the bills as another round of bullying by Republican lawmakers. Both trans students and their family members (have testified in opposition to the bills,) telling lawmakers that the proposals would increase the alienation that such students already face.

This law covers grades K-12.

Rules and regulations regarding college level sports are set by the NCAA which has no authority over high school sports.

That was her very weak, implausible argument on Tucker. Few bought it.

Ok. I knew it hurt her credibility. But whatever the change, whether her or the content of the bill, she appears to be with it now.

I no longer call them States they are 50 separate countries within a federation called the us. It’s similar to the EU except it has a standing army.

I was just kicked out of a guitar center here with virtually no customers in it because I was walking around without a mask on I told them that in my country most people aren’t wearing masks. This guitar center was in a country called Illinois. My country is called Kentucky.

“Is Kristi finally on board?”

Yep, reluctantly. It was Lia Thomas that forced her hand. Still too little, too late.

I think you’ll find the Appellate Court there strongly Republican. So it can go either way.

A simple DNA test can determine sex. That’s all that should be needed. The entire concept of ‘transitioning’ is a farce and lie.

My bad. Idid forget to check the Appellate court which has jurisdiction.

Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals:

(5) Dubya judges
(1) Grabby Poppy judge [Bush Senior]
(1) Clownbammy "judge"
(4) Trump judges

The 7 senior judges are a mix of Reagan, Grabby Poppy and Dubya judges.

A VERY good look for us, if there aren't two many Dubya judges who "grew in office" [as our good friend Linda "Greenhouse Gas" Greenhouse used to say].

Thanks for checking. I did check it in the past when Noem vetoed the original bill, and that was one of the reason I was angry with her. When you have a court like that, you take advantage of it, particularly when you know it can only get worse (with Biden picking judges).

Well, yes, I'm sure it might, but you can't make legislation following the "you have to participate in my game of make believe or my feelings will be hurt" argument. If we've reached the point - and we have - where stating that a boy is male and a girl is female constitutes "bullying" then words have no meaning anymore.

I don’t detest her at all. At least she rejected the chance to act like a petty tyrant during the onset of the Fauxi flu.
