South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem To Sign Bill Banning Transgender Athletes From Girl's Sports

The Governor Of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, Announced That She Fully Intends To Sign A Bill That Protects Women In Sports.
The Bill, Which Passed The South Dakota House And Senate, Would Ban Transgender Athletes From Competing On Girls' Or Women's Teams.

Governor Noem Said She Was Celebrating International Women's Day By Defending Women's Sports, And That She Was Excited To Sign The Bill Very Soon.

The New Rule Requires Parents To Sign A Document Every Year Vouching For The Biological Sex Of Their Children Who Want To Take Part In Sports.

The Bill Is Being Called An Act To Promote Continued Fairness In Women's Sports.

Supporters Of The Bill Say That Male Athletes Are Physically Larger And Stronger Than Female Athletes And Allowing Them To Participate In Girls Sports Tramples On Women's Rights.

Opponents Of The Bill Claim That The Bill Is Attempting To Erase Transgender People From Participating In Life.

The Mississippi House Passed A Similar Bill Earlier This Month.

The Bill Comes After Joe Biden Signed An Executive Order In February That Called On Schools Across The Nation To Allow Athletes To Participate In Sports Under The Gender That They Chose.
