Pa. House passes bill banning transgender females from competing in women’s sports

A bill to ban transgender females from competing in girls and women’s sports passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Tuesday.

The legislation passed on a 115-84 bipartisan vote. It now goes to the Senate for consideration, which has a similar bill that was approved by its education committee on Monday.

However, Gov. Tom Wolf has made it clear that he will veto the bill. He has said it discriminates and his spokeswoman called it disturbing and dangerous.

“Transgender individuals should know that they belong, that they are valued and that their participation in activities is welcomed,” Wolf spokeswoman Rachel Kostelac said.

Good for the governor, but it does seem to be part of a trend, unfortunately.

3. Thank you Governor Wolf

Shame on the Pennvylsania House, though... Damnit. I know part of your state is known as "Pennsyltucky", but, do better and be better.

Furthermore, considering how little you cared and how little you all did about Pedd State, well... Spare me any bullshit about caring about sports.

This is a trend, and it needs to stop... badly.
