State Senator Angela Hill authored the bill. Following Thursday night’s vote, she tweeted:
“Late tonight, God blessed all our efforts. We passed the Fairness Act through the Senate with no questions and 20 plus co-authors. For all the people that helped and spoke out, the female athletes of MS thank you. This is amazing. Got to make it through the house [sic] next.”
Secretary of State Michael Watson, the father of three girls, backed the Fairness Act, posting his support on Facebook prior to the vote, encouraging the Senate to pass it:“On occasion, our politics gets an opportunity to slam the brakes on some portions of our runaway culture. The Fairness Act … offers a chance for our legislature to take a strong stand …. Let’s get it done!”
Another state official, Agricultural Commissioner Andy Gipson, who has two daughters, also used social media to relay his support: “This bill is a commonsense measure …. It’s bizarre to think we would ever need to pass such a bill, but recent actions at the federal level make it both necessary and appropriate.”
All those who voted to approve the Mississippi bill are Republican; all those who voted against it are Democrat. Another nine senators (seven Democrat and two Republican) were either absent or simply voted “present.”
Several states are taking a stand to protect biological female athletes from unfair competition by men pretending to be women.
Christiana Holcomb is an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a law firm representing female athletes in states such as Connecticutwhere biological males are allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Holcomb says she’s aware of approximately a dozen states across the U.S. that are currently considering bills that would ensure that only biological females compete on sports teams designated for women or girls.
“… These girls [deserve to] have a fair chance at winning,” says the ADF attorney. “In Connecticut, two biological male athletes over the course of just three years took 15 women’s state championship titles.”
Holcomb goes on to say that “the whole point of Title IX” was to provide young athletes with a fair, level playing field. “And that’s what we’re here to stand for and protect,” Holcomb concludes.
CONNECTICUT bans transgender women/girl athletes from competing in women’s sports, arguing that it violates Title IX & violates rights of real females.
IDAHO House Bill 500, also known as the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, applies to student-athletes playing in K-12 sports and at the collegiate level, no matter if the university is public or private. The law prohibitS transgender women and girls from participating in school athletics in alignment with their gender identity.
TENNESSEE legislators advancing a bill that would ban transgender athletes from women’s sports in school.
UTAH lawmaker behind a plan to block transgender athletes from playing in girls’ sports is not punitive, but affirming for female athletics.
ARIZONA: A bill introduced in the legislature would ban female transgender athletes from competing against students of the gender they identify with. The bill’s sponsor, Representative Nancy Barto, claims it’s about protecting women’s sports.

The girls & women could get severely injured competing against men. Especially in contact sports.
BareNakedIslam says
Az, if this travesty is allowed to spread, there won’t be any women’s sports in 5 – 10 years. No reason for real women to compete.
Leonie Z. Pipe says
Well done to all those states that want to overturn this lunacy being enacted by the ever more radicalised Biden administration. Allowing transgenders to compete in womens’ sports seriously handicaps all females wishing to participate in their chosen sport, and is a backward step for equal rights.
Steve S says
Extreme feminists are to blame for this kind of horseshit. They have always insisted that men and women are absolutely equal in every respect and are totally and completely interchangeable and should be absolutely equal in everything. And that women and men should be treated no differently in any way. Of course, the truth is that men and women are different and are supposed to be different. That’s why they have different body shapes and different hormones and sex organs.
Women and men can and should be equal in the eyes of the law, and they should have social equality when it comes to basic human rights, but it does not change the fact that men and women are different from a biological standpoint.
The irony is that the transgender and transsexual population are actually enforcing the basic inequality of men and women, and will ultimately force women from sports entirely. And, of course, allowing women to participate in sport was meant to be a way to give women a means of having some semblance of social equality.
And the result is that we have seen a desexualizing of both male and female. Males have been castrated and females have defeminized. Men are no longer male, and women are no longer female, but some sort of bland androgyny has taken over the world.
I recognize that everyone has a little bit of the opposite sex in their makeup. Every male has a little bit of female, and every female has a little bit of male. And there are some that are naturally somewhere in the middle where they are neither predominately male or female. But we cannot and should not try to force everyone into that mold. Individuals that are in that twilight of being both male and female will always be a minority and are not “normal” in the sense that they do not make up the majority. Most people will be either male or female with just a little bit of the opposite sex.
Like so many things, a basic good idea has been taken too far and has now approached the ridiculous.
Kenneth Besig says
I would suggest that these so called transgender men have their genitals and penis’s surgically removed and have vaginas surgically implanted in place of their male sex organs. Also, have their male breasts replaced with women’s breasts or facsimiles. Then after all that surgery, then let them try to run, jump, race, lift weights, and compete with real women in those sports. The so called transgenders will then really be women but they will compete like surgically altered people and they won’t be able to walk, much less run, jump, race, or lift weights. After all if they really think they are women then make them biologically female for real!
BareNakedIslam says
KB, but that still won’t change their muscle mass/strength advantage.
Canuckguy says
BNI, it is the testosterone, a hormone produced mainly in men by the testicles that helps build muscle and bone mass. So stripping a man of his balls will weaken him. It will reduce his muscle mass and strength. Of course they can take supplements to cheat. Anyway, in saying that, I agree 100% with this movement by some states to protect women’s sports from female imposters. Perhaps there should be a third sports category, the Gender Confused, to have their own sports leagues but only if it is done without government(democrat) cash handouts. Let the ticket paying audience support the effort. I am sure that will work out just fine and dandy.
BareNakedIslam says
But there’s always the problem that not all Transwomen get the surgery to remove their genitalia.
I love the ides of “Gender Confused” – now that would be interesting to watch.
Canuckguy says
So are you saying some of these gender crossers who self identify as female still have their balls attached when competing? If that is the case, the left woke are crazier than I had thought and I thought they were really bat shit crazy to begin with.
BareNakedIslam says
Absolutely. There is no requirement that their genitals be inspected before competing. And many do not want the surgery even if they are able to get it.
Canuckguy says
Good lord. Beam me up, Scotty.
BareNakedIslam says
CG, do they have this kind of nonsense in Canada, too?
sweetolbob says
Awwww, Comon ! Transwomen ??? Some bicycle racers shave their legs, but that doesn’t mean they’re trans anything or poofs.
We have far too many newly invented words designed to give special status oddies and queers. The world was much better off when there were just hetros and homos !
But … OOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOO ! All the peculiarly bent personalities want to go on parade, act “special” and be applauded for their aberration .
“Feek !” Not from here !
Az gal says
One of the most asinine things ever.
Linda Rivera says
End the injustice! Protect our females.
The all consuming hate for women and girls that characterizes the cruel Biden Harris administration must end. Now.
Lance says
Awwww, now Big Mike Obama won’t be able to compete in female sports.
BareNakedIslam says
LOL!
MuhahahahahahahahahaMAD says
Funny how degeneracy comes to resemble insanity.
