The office of Attorney General Kris Kobach said House Bill 2238, if it became law, would likely be challenged on constitutional grounds. The process of securing a court ruling on validity of the statute could take several years. Defending the law would be the state’s financial obligation.

In addition, the attorney general said local school boards and community colleges could be subject to new legal liability. Universities in the Kansas Board of Regents system would fall under provisions of the law, but NCAA policies on transgender athletes could inhibit the state’s ability to host NCAA events.

Sen. Pat Pettey, a Democrat from Kansas City, said three transgender girls were known to have registered among 41,000 girls taking part in KSHSAA events. The bill was being pushed through the GOP-led Legislature despite lack of complaints about transgender students, Pettey said.

She said research demonstrated participation by adolescents in sports improved students’ grades, self esteem and aspiration in terms of a college education.

“Yet, we want to talk about denying that opportunity to a segment of our children,” Pettey said. “This bill is not about fairness or women’s sports. It’s about discrimination. It’s an insult to female athletes.”

Erickson, who labeled arguments against the bill a “distraction,” said not enough people understood the path to a college sports scholarship began in elementary school.

“If a boy is allowed to take a spot away from any girl, and she doesn’t get that chance to participate, that’s not right,” Erickson said. “The opponents don’t seem concerned about the trophies, placements and championships that are lost by Kansas girls if we don’t pass this.”

It's really sad when mediocre male athletes go transgender to beat women in sports.

They should participate in their own transgender category. If I was able to go transgender back when I was in high school track (if the late 1970s was as bizarre as 2023), I would have been a League champion in the 1 mile/1600 meter run because the fastest man was 30-40 seconds faster than female athletes. I admit I was a mediocre athlete running a 4:55 mile. Our fastest female at JFK High School in La Palma, California ran the same time that I did. She became our High School league champion in the 1 and 2-mile run.

Yesterday, I heard on Fox News (Sirius XM Radio) a female athlete almost in tears say that she is being threatened by the college campus to accept seeing naked transgender males with male genitalia in her locker room and she couldn't say anything about it.

The school administrators emphasized her College education would be ruined if she spoke up.

Today's left is so worried about 'inclusion' that they intend to destroy the careers of people who stand up and protest this sick phenomenon/injustice of today.

The social justice Warriors including the faculty members of those left-leaning colleges should care more about biological females who have a lot to lose because of the stupid 'inclusion' mandate of today's left.

Certain progressives are going to attack me on this but what do you say when Caitlyn Jenner, the former gold medal-winning triathlon Olympic champion from 1976 who later became a female, thinks it's unfair for transgender biological male athletes to compete in women's sports and they have an unfair advantage because their muscle mass will always be bigger and they will always have an advantage over biological females?

From my own personal experience as a mediocre athlete in high school, it would be unfair for me to be able to beat females in track and field just because I had an epiphany one day and I wanted to be transgender.
