Republican governor refuses to sign bill preventing males in women's sports

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon on Friday declined to sign into law a bill banning biological males from competing in girls’ school sports, saying the outright ban is “draconian” and “discriminatory.”
Senate File 133 will become law anyway, because the governor chose not to veto it. Letting a bill become law without a signature is a statement by the governor and doesn’t change the force of the law.
“While he supports and agrees with the overall goal of fairness in competitive female sports,” reads a statement from Gordon’s office, the governor believes the ban is “overly draconian, is discriminatory without attention to individual circumstances or mitigating factors and pays little attention to the fundamental principles of equality.”
‘Sends A Harmful Message’
SF 133 bans biological males from participating in girls school sports in grades seven through 12.
Gordon said he believes the bill’s intent is “well-meaning as a way to protect the integrity and fairness of women’s sports in our state,” but that an outright ban “sends a harmful message that these individuals and their families do not deserve the same opportunities as others.”
The law is effective July 1 and therefore will not impact students until the next school year.
Gordon’s statement says he has committed to work with Megan Degenfelder, Wyoming superintendent of Public Instruction, to ensure that there’s clear guidance for how transgender students can “have some means to participate safely in interscholastic activities after this law goes into effect, recognizing sadly that may mean these young people may not be able to compete in athletics.”
Meanwhile, In Court
Similar laws around the country are facing court challenges, as transgender people claim they violate their right to equal protection by government.
That’s why SF 133 contains an alternate provision that would become effective if a court were to block or overrule the ban. In that event, the Wyoming High School Activities Association would appoint an independent board to review transgender athlete appeals on a case-by-case basis.
Sometimes you gotta go with a gut feeling in spite of the left media telling you that you cannot go by your gut instinct. (yes..you can...and you should)...like the one i had with Bruce Jenner sometime before he fully came out trans.... I KNEW IT.. and with this guy. I"m gonna say here and now...this guy will transition at some point probably after his stint as governor.

From @Calypso Jones:
IAC, somebody needs to tell that guy that you don't make the exception the rule. And that's exactly what he's doing.
A shame that someone in such a high leadership role needs to be told that, but if Gov. Gordon doesn't hear it, I hope his constituents do.
Dang, CJ, that never occurred to me. But, you could seriously be on to something there.Sometimes you gotta go with a gut feeling in spite of the left media telling you that you cannot go by your gut instinct. (yes..you can...and you should)...like the one i had with Bruce Jenner sometime before he fully came out trans.... I KNEW IT.. and with this guy.

Wyoming. Home of the Trans poster-grrrl, "Liz" Cheney.
Not all who claim to be not of the Woketard Party, are honest. Imagine what Florida would look like now, with Jebster Shrub still as governor there.
Mass insanity continues to grow and spread.

So I guess the answer is NOT to trust your instincts. Wait for the person above you to tell you what to do.
If you're at the top, get your advice from trusted sources - like the You-Dork Slimes and Snopes.

His comments are well reasoned.
Yes, females sports should be fair.
Transgenders CAN participate in sports still. They can play against stronger opposition - ie, males. Unless an all transgender competition can be organised.
I've been involved in a few sports organistions for my kids. Sometimes you would have some kid you were unsure what group to put them into.
They always went into the higher competitive group. Else the other group are disadvantaged.
A trans against women disadvantages the females. It is not fair.

Governors need to sign an oath like docs do: FIRST DO NO HARM.

Who's gonna enforce such an oath?
Who enforces the oaths of fealty to the Constitution, that that mob of idiots in Washington make and take? Nobody.
When there is no morality, a government such as ours, cannot work. As Madison said.

I wasn't exactly being serious, regarding that oath. Nevertheless, I believe you meant John Adams:Casey Jones wrote:Who's gonna enforce such an oath?

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Adams/99-02-02-3102Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
