Transgenders Banned from Competing on Female Sports Teams in Louisiana

Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards failed to veto a bill on Monday banning transgender athletes from competing on girls and women’s sports teams.

As a member of the party that allegedly loves women, he is opposed to the legislation.

Edwards, who vetoed a similar bill last year, said the law was inevitable because of it’s overwhelming support in the House and Senate.

He allowed it to become law without his signature.

“It was obvious to me after two years it was going to become law whether or not I signed or vetoed the bill,” Edwards said.

Republican Franklinton Sen. Beth Mizell has been working for two years to pass the transgender sports ban, USA Today.

“Women have worked too hard for too long to get to the competitive level we have attained to now face an unfair playing field,” Mizell said. Democrats opposed to the legislation described it as an “attack” on children. During a debate, state Republican Rep. Laurie Schlegel pointed to biological male “transgender” swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas as an example of why legislation protecting women’s sports is popping up across the country, according to Townhall.

People who can’t come to grips with the Natural Fact that they are either a boy or a girl suffer from a well established Mental disorder – Gender Dysphoria. These people should be getting the help they need to come to grips with their Gender reality and not have to deal with wackos complicating the issue. Telling a child its OK to be a girl when they are a boy or boy when they are a girl is nothing less than child abuse and people doing this, even parents, should be prosecuted. Just because Modern Medicine has the technology to mutilate a child’s body and support this Mental disorder with drugs doesn’t mean society should support the idea.

With all the progress we have made in America to empower women, allowing men to destroy a woman’s chances for things like sport scholarships is just plan wrong. A man’s Gender Dysphoria should not be allowed to destroy lives of woman.

Edwards comes from a longtime corrupt family.

He refused to veto it for himself, to help his career. He plays it all ways, lets it become law, strongly opposes it.
