I found this interesting on Facebook this morning.
Former School Board member and current State Representative Fred Deutsch took the time to highlight former Presidential Candidate and Current Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard speaking on her measure to preserve Title IX protection for Women’s sports, basing participation on biological sex.
Does that mean that we might see legislation in South Dakota to this end? Could be.
In the past, Governor Noem has expressed her support of preserving Title IX in sports, so there’s no reason to believe it would change 3 years later.
Tjis was the best thing i read yesyerday.. it is sad that a law has to be passed to restore common sense and morality!
This is an example of how Covid denied us normal conversations about political issues which affect actual lives.
Where is Biden on this? Is he for allowing my granddaughters to have fair competition with people whose physical genetic capacities are the same or is he for allowing people with superior genetic physical capacities to turn girl sports into a B-team for boys?
He WAS for whatever it took to get him votes; now. . . it’s anybody’s guess. He probably doesn’t remember what he thought about it yesterday and will have to make it up today.
The real question is where is Harris ….Biden has served his purpose and will be gone sooner thsn later.
Does Fred care about any issues that DON’T involve genitals and reproductive organs? Serious question.
It is clear you are either a bigot or wholly unaware of the broad workload of legislators. In either case, you question can not be taken seriously. It is nobody’s obligation to lift you so your questions aren’t at the level of an imbecile, unless of course you are a bigot.
Oh fer… C’mon Troy. Fred [redacted] Deutsch brings up trans issues every session. Can’t we just let the local districts handle this on a case-by-case basis? Why does Fred think it’s in his wheelhouse if not pure “bigotry” because “Jesus”. We’ve got over 1000 dead people due to COVID, and this is what we’re talking about? Leave the trans kids alone.

Maybe we could take a year off from trans legislation and try to focus on positive stories and legislation coming out of Pierre—instead of all of these trans bills that steal all of the headlines and airtime but end up getting defeated. Unfortunately, the general public watching KELO and Facebook probably think half of session is covering trans issues because they take the lead every night during session.
Hopefully the new leadership can improve this.
If there is a bill to uphold & strengthen the original intent of Title IX and ensure a level playing field for girls & women, it will come from women legislators. As for me, I have a full schedule. I plan to introduce bills pertaining to:
1. Veterans and active military at the request of the Department of Defense;
2. K-12 education;
3. Wind-towers;
4. Pro-life; and
5. Election reform.
