Across the Western World many social media accounts and corporations are embracing ‘Pride Month’. Popular Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken his state on a different turn and signed into law a bill that bans transgender girls and women from competing on female sports teams at the high school and college level.
DeSantis appeared at Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville to sign the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act.”
The law states that women and girls must play on the sport teams of the “biological sex” on their birth certificate. Therefore, a transgender person whose birth certificate denotes her “biological sex” as male, cannot play on a girls’ sports team.
The law specifies that athletic teams or sports “designated for males, men, or boys may be open to students of the female sex.” but athletic teams or sports “designated for females, women, or girls may not be open to students of the male sex.” Therefore, if a transgender person wants to play on a boys’ team they are able to.
During a press conference at the academy, girls who attend the school stood on stage behind DeSantis. “We believe in the state of Florida protecting the fairness and integrity of women’s athletics. I can tell you that in Florida, girls are going to play girls’ sports and boys are going to play boys’ sports. We’re going to make sure that that’s the reality.
We’ve seen, particularly in other states, you’d have these blatantly unfair track races and all these other things, where these girls train and then they end up not being able to advance to compete at state or what have you.”
