Bill Banning Biological Men from Women’s Sports Vetoed by Ohio Governor

We’ve got more weasels in positions of power than we know what to do with. When given the opportunity to do the right and honorable thing in the midst of a battle, do you want to know what weasels do? If you said scurry away like the creepy little critters they are, you would be correct.

From The College Fix:

The governor of Ohio vetoed a measure Friday that would have banned male athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.

Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said he had “sought out people on all sides of the issue to hear their concerns,” according to a Friday statement.

House Bill 68, also known as the SAFE Act, states that “no school, interscholastic conference, or organization that regulates interscholastic athletics shall knowingly permit individuals of the male sex to participate on athletic teams or in athletic competitions designated only for participants of the female sex.”

The bill, which would also have banned minor “gender-affirming care,” cleared the state’s Republican-dominated House in June, the AP reported.

GOP Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens told the AP that his chamber is considering its options about beginning a veto override.

I know politics is a balancing act. You try to do what’s best for everyone, and since that’s a near impossibility, you focus on the majority. As long as you can keep a majority of your constituents happy, you’ll most likely get re-elected as many times as you want to put yourself through the hell that public service has become.

That’s why this doesn’t make sense to me. Not just this instance, but the entire issue of allowing men to invade women’s sports. There are undeniably more women than there are biological men pretending to be women, so why are we playing these games?

If anybody has an answer to that, I would love to hear it. Especially if any politicians would like to stand up and explain their reasoning in a way that makes any kind of logical sense. I’ll wait…
