  • South Dakota Transgender Bill...

    Finally, some sanity - agree?

    PIERRE — Legislation aimed at transgender students participating in South Dakota high school athletics was introduced on Monday.

    The Senate bill would void the South Dakota High School Activities Association's policy, adopted in 2015, that allows transgender students to participate on sports teams that reflect their gender identities rather than the biological sex listed on their birth certificate. Instead, the student's sex on their birth certificate would be the "sole determinant" of which sports teams the student may participate, according to the legislation introduced by Sen. Jim Bolin, R-Canton, and Rep. Brunner, R-Nisland.

      I don't think that will fly in South Dakota.

        Or adopt New York's bizarre "gender neutral" birth certificates.

            Common sense! Males and females are not interchangeable.

            Something that shouldn't be legal.

              This is stupid. Even if someone were to decide they wanted to be the opposite gender at some point and it was a real thing, that doesn't change the fact that they were born a specific SEX on their birth certificate. I thought they keep repeating gender is not sex. Well on the birth certificate they are listing the biological sex of the baby. And you can't retroactively change that later.

                This topic is too difficult for Republican legislators who ought to recuse themselves unless they are transgender.

                    Using that logic you shouldn't be commenting on it at all unless you are transgender.

                        Whoever Transgender Bill is, I'm guessing he disapproves of this thread.

                          Presumably you expect the same of Democrats, yes?

                            I think that's about one of the dumbest things I've ever seen you type. I mean, that's dumber than a sack of hammers in a light socket in the tool shed.
                            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                              No. I think this should go one of two ways. Either schools should have three tracks for sports: all-male, all-female, and gender-neutral; or they should just have gender-neutral.
                              The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
