Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) told reporters Wednesday that he is undecided on whether or not he will sign House Bill 68, which bans certain transgender procedures and prohibits male athletes who identify as female from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. “While this does not affect a large number of Ohioans, it does affect a number of children in our state. We need to get it right. For me, getting it right means finding out as much as I can,” DeWine said of House Bill 68, according to a report by 10 WBNS.

former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines has emerged as a powerful advocate for the integrity of women's sports. Poised beyond her years — she's 23 — Gaines has handled everything that the frothing, hate-filled advocate Left has thrown at her because she speaks the truth. She recently spoke before the House Oversight Committee and brilliantly smacked down an idiot Democrat who called her "transphobic." Another female NCAA athlete has been getting some attention for speaking truth to insanity. .. volleyball player Macy Petty spoke about her two biggest concerns regarding trans athletes, the first being a growing number of stolen opportunities...

In Wisconsin, the state senate and assembly both have bills (Senate Bill 377 and Assembly Bill 378) up for a hearing. The bills would designate sports teams based on the biological sex of the participants. A common sense bill that will protect women's sports. During a hearing for the bill, a trans activist says men become women through surgery. But that's not how this work. At a hearing for a bill which would require college sports teams in WI be divided by sex and not gender identity, a trans activist claims that trans women can actually become biological females through...

A U.S. appeals court on Friday revived a lawsuit by female former high school track team members challenging a Connecticut policy that allows transgender girls to compete on girls' teams. The full 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the four women could pursue claims that the policy deprived them of wins and athletic opportunities by requiring them to compete with two transgender sprinters. The court did not review the merits of those claims, but only whether the plaintiffs had standing to bring them.

Earlier this year, Mid Vermont Christian School made headlines when they refused to participate in the state’s transvestite folly in women’s basketball. In standing firm in their faith by refusing to participate in a perverted male’s fetishistic delusions, the Vermont Principals’ Association banned the school from athletic tournaments. At the time, the school set an example of the willingness to sacrifice the little things, that being a high school women’s basketball game, rather than bend the knee to the spirit of the age, something most parents and schools acquiesce rather than fight. The decision of the VPA impacted athletic and...

People who claimed “it doesn’t hurt you” or “why do you care?” were hoping that regular individuals would ignore the situation until it becomes too difficult to stop. The evidence of people being punished for not accepting the false idea is why regular people are concerned. High school girls’ basketball team deemed ineligible to play in future activities and tournaments after forfeiting game against team with transgender student-athlete A Vermont high school girls’ basketball team that withdrew from a tournament in February after refusing to play against a team that had a transgender player is no longer able to participate...

Transgender women have been barred from playing in international women's matches under new regulations from the International Cricket Council. Any player who has gone through male puberty will not be eligible for women's internationals regardless of any surgery or treatment undertaken. In September, Canada's Danielle McGahey became the first transgender cricketer to play an international game. The new regulations will be reviewed within two years, the ICC said. Following a nine-month consultation process, the governing body said its new policy, which takes effect immediately, was based on "protection of the integrity of the women's game, safety, fairness and inclusion". "The...

A federal court on Monday upheld a new Florida law that prevents biological males from competing in female sports, ruling that the state has a legitimate interest in “protecting and promoting athletic opportunities for girls.” The law was signed in 2021 by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the wake of a series of controversies around the country involving transgender-identifying males defeating biological girls in sports. In Connecticut, for example, two high school athletes who are biologically male but who identify as female won a total of 15 state track championships in the female division. It was dubbed the Fairness in...

Eventbrite nuked from its site a “Protecting Women’s Sports” event that former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines is set to hold at the University of California, Davis next week — but had no problem hosting pro-Hamas event listings until Gaines’ supporters called the platform out on it.The company cited a violation of its “Community Guidelines and Terms of Service” as its reason for removing the listing for Gaines’ event, claiming it does not allow events that “discriminate against, harass, disparage, threaten, incite violence against, or otherwise target individuals or groups based on their actual or perceived race, ethnicity, religion,...

Wisconsin State Rep. Dave Considine (D) told his colleagues on the state house floor Thursday that he thinks girls who lose to male-born transgender athletes just need to “work harder” if they don’t like losing in sports. Considine made the outrageous claim by insisting that his college-age “granddaughter” voiced this quip to him during a recent conversation the two had. “And my granddaughter who is playing college sports, I asked her about this when we had this two years ago, and she said you know what, if a trans woman was competing against me in the sport then that just...

The Swimming World Cup has decided to scrap its plans to host an open-category event for transgender swimmers after no one signed up for it. The event was to serve as a compromise after World Aquatice voted to ban male swimmers from competing in elite female events in 2022. The plan was to offer trans competitors the ability to compete against other trans swimmers in the 50m and 100m events across all strokes. However, with the Swimming World Cup only three days away, it appears there are no takers.
