Lawmakers in several states have introduced bills protecting girl’s sports in schools, after President Joe Biden signed an executive order, on his first day in office, that forces women’s athletic programs, restrooms, and locker rooms to accept gender-confused males.
Montana is one of the states that has proposed legislation. The ‘Save Women’s Sports Act‘ will require public school athletic teams to be designated based on biological sex.
The bill reads, “The Legislature finds that there are ‘inherent differences between men and women’, and that these differences ‘remain cause for celebration but not for denigration of the members of either sex or for artificial contracts on an individual’s opportunity.’”
The bill cites testosterone levels and other differences between the genders that would create an unfair playing field for young girls to compete under Biden’s order.
Lawmakers in other states are also moving to protect girls sports. Idaho Republican state Rep. Barbara Ehardt has sponsored a similar bill in her state.
Rep. Ehardt said, “I submit to you that, if you don’t pass legislation such as this, that it will come to the day where there will be no room, no place, for women to compete, and at that point, I say to you, where shall we go, against whom shall we compete, and to whom shall we turn for redress?”
Similar legislation has also been introduced in Oklahoma.
