Mississippi Passes Bill Preventing Biological Males From Competing In Women’s Sports

Legislators in Mississippi passed a bill that would ban biological men (transgender women) from competing on women’s sports teams in schools and universities.

The state House passed with an 81-28 vote on Wednesday the ‘Mississippi Fairness Act’ and the bill passed in the Senate with a vote of 34-9 which now moves to Republican Governor Tate Reeves.

Rep. state Sen. Angela Hill said to ABC News, “If we do not move to protect female sports from biological males who have an unfair physiological advantage, we will eventually no longer have female sports.”

There is a growing number of states proposing similar legislation to restrict biological males as the ACLU has tracked 25 states who are pushing these bills this year compared to 18 last year.

The Fairness Act Section 3 ‘Designation of athletic team reads.

 (1)  Interscholastic or intramural athletic teams or sports that are sponsored by a public primary or secondary school or any school that is a member participant of the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) or state institution of higher learning or any public community or junior college that is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) or National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) shall be expressly designated as one (1) of the following based on biological sex: (a)  “Males,” “men” or “boys”; (b)  “Females,” “women” or “girls”; or (c)  “Coed” or “mixed. (2)  Athletic teams or sports designated for “females,” “women” or “girls” shall not be open to students of the male sex. (3)  If disputed, a student may establish his or her sex by presenting a signed physician’s statement which shall indicate the student’s sex based solely upon:

          (a)  The student’s internal and external reproductive anatomy;

          (b)  The student’s normal endogenously produced levels of testosterone; and

          (c)  An analysis of the student’s genetic makeup.

Democrat President Joe Biden signed a very controversial Executive Order during his first days of office which allows biological males to compete in women’s sports. The order reads:

Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports. Adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based stereotypes. People should be able to access healthcare and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination.  All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Gov. Tate Reeves commented on Biden’s EO to Twitter, “If there’s one thing that we are passionate about in the Reeves family, it’s my daughters’ sports. I know that the lessons learned through team sports have led to so many successful lives and careers for women and have truly helped provide a more equal opportunity for success.”

Gov. Reeves continued, “My girls practice tirelessly. They work hard. They’ve learned how to win and, yes, they’ve learned what it feels like to be on the wrong end of the final score. It’s true bonding—my happiest and proudest Dad moments. It is also why I am so disappointed over President Biden’s actions to force young girls like them to compete with biological males for access to athletics. It will limit opportunity for so many competitors like my daughters. It is bad policy and it is wrong for America.”

The governor also called out politicians, “I don’t understand why politicians are pushing children into transgenderism in the first place. I certainly don’t understand why the President chose to make it a priority. And my heart breaks for the young women across America who will lose in this radical social experiment.”

Candace Owens fired back on Monday because she was trending on Twitter, “I’m trending right now and would like to publicly offer a non-apology for having stated the obvious: people purporting to be feminists that have not spoken out against the trans agenda currently eating women’s rights—are frauds.”
Owens continued, “Biological men have no place in women’s sports.”
