The Florida House of Representatives has voted in favor of a bill to ban gender nonconforming biological males who identify as transgender from participating in school sports designated for women and girls, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
The bill passed 77-40, with all but one Democrat voting against the measure and all Republicans voting in favor.
The vote comes as part of a nationwide campaign by conservatives to prevent biologically male athletes from self-identifying as female and using that designation to compete in women’s sports. Similar bills have been passed in Idaho and South Dakota, with the former state’s bill being struck down by a judge while latter state’s Republican governor vetoed the bill, then issued an executive order of her own to solidify the ban in high school sports.
Supporters of such restrictions have argued that there are natural biological differences between males and females. Biological males have greater muscle mass and bone density, as well as more aggressive tendencies due to testosterone, which gives biological males an unfair advantage over biological females in athletic competition.
Opponents of the bills have argued that natural biological differences between men and women diminish after biological males begin taking estrogen, and that such bills are more based on bigotry towards transgender people than on science. However, there are substantial restrictions against doping in sports, and an athlete taking doses of hormones could be considered as drug-taking.
While more radical transgender rights advocates have argued that simply identifying as a woman should allow an individual access to women’s sports, others have suggested a more vigorous approach to ensure that transgender individuals consistently identify as women and are actively taking cross-sex hormones to reduce natural biological differences.
The NCAA, one such organization which conditionally allows transgender women to compete in women’s leagues, has threatened to pull some of their championship events out of Florida if the bill passes.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
