The bills now head to the Senate with two weeks left in the session.
The Missouri House passed a pair of bills Thursday barring transgender students from participating on sports teams that align with their gender identity.
Both bills were initially unrelated to school sports, but legislators adopted the amendments with the transgender ban after hours of intense debate in each instance.
One of the bills, which lawmakers passed by a vote of 95-46, outright bars transgender secondary school students from joining sports that match their gender identity. Instead they would have to participate with peers that align with the sex listed on their birth certificate.
The other bill, passed by a vote of 96-47, allows school districts to hold referendums to give them the authority to also ban transgender girls to participate in girls’ sports.

It appears the right is afraid of 2 things primarily:
Anything that has to do with sex.
and
Anything that has to do with race.

Even though studies have shown that transgender athletes don't have an appreciable advantage.

PO1 John Johnson - "You assume a lot that is incorrect and you just lost your hard earned money." - How did I lose any money?
"Your tone and language, in almost all of your posts, indicate that you hate men. You are a Misandrist." - Aww that's what misogynists call women who stand up for themselves. I absolutely don't hate men at all. Most of my friends are men. I have four brothers who I love dearly and are upstanding men and a wonderful father. Many of my mentors in the Army have been men (since sadly women are the minority and I have been in mostly male units half my career). So you're weird little judgment of me is so far off base it's ridiculous.
"You miss the mark on me (and everyone else for that matter) in everything you assume. You also have no ability to hold a conversation with someone you disagree with, other than to call them names in an juvenile attempt to shut down opposing points of view." --- I give people the same energy they give me. So maybe you should check yourself if you don't like the responses you get from me.
I sure seemed to trigger you lol. I absolutely hold conversations with people who disagree with me in real life every day. It's THIS fucked off forum that is full of misogynists, racists, sexists, xenophobes that seem to get really really butt hurt at my comments. Weird how that works huh?
Again have the day you deserve.

If you weren't betting money in your reply to me, what were you betting? Have the day you deserve, girlfriend. Oh, and look, I can hit the "down vote" button as well as you can!

Aww you blocked me? How sad. It seems you can't handle having any kind of discussions with people who point out how wrong you are - and then you join the "block" clique.
I'm definitely not a misandrist in any way, shape or form. I don't have a dislike or prejudice against men. I have a dislike for misogynists for sure. Yes. Not all men are that though.
If someone says "I'd bet" it's a saying. Smh.
Also don't call me "girlfriend." That's your misogyny showing.

The real threat to women’s sports isn’t transgender athletes – it’s underfunding and lack of...
Despite what legislatures and anti-trans activists would have you believe, transgender inclusion in sports is not a threat to womens sports. Instead, the biggest threat is schools themselves, which are underfunding womens’ sports relative to mens to the tune of millions of dollars.

Sorry Deary, Title IX took care of under-funding; if there's an actual host funding problem, take the host to court and sue for violating title IX. What kills a lot of women's sports is lack of quality product when compared to men's sports. It's extremely hard to meet ticket/gear sales revenue forecasts when only parents and diehard supporters (do or don't) fill the stands.

PO1 John Johnson - Don't call me "deary."

"In schools across the country, boys’ teams wear nicer uniforms, play on better fields, are led by more experienced coaches, have their practices scheduled at more desirable times, play with newer equipment and dress in better-equipped locker rooms. All are potential violations of Title IX.
“We still estimate that the majority of schools are likely out of compliance with the law,” said Sarah Axelson, vice president of advocacy at the Women’s Sports Foundation."
Everything in your comment is complete and utter bullshit. Oh was that too harsh? Did I hurt your feelings?

Title IX Has Not Meant Equality for High School Girls Sports
Title IX was designed in part to balance the scales for girls and boys in school-based athletics.

Nope, my feelings can't be hurt, at least not by you. Like I said previously, if you have a problem with any school not adhering to Title IX, take them to court. I didn't write the law nor can I enforce it.

Again not your sister or deary or any other weird thing you want to call me. It sure seems like your feelings were hurt since you blocked me from tagging you in posts lol.
If you have a problem with facts - well I don't know what to tell you.
