In 2020, Idaho passed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. This law ensures that only biological females are competing in sports designated for girls and women.
Seems like common sense, right?
Well…not to everyone. Many athletic conferences across the country have implemented policies that allow males who identify as female to compete on teams designated for girls and women.
And many female athletes are already feeling the effects of such policies. Science and common sense tell us that males are generally bigger, faster, and stronger than females. They have larger hearts and lungs, denser bones, and stronger muscles. No amount of testosterone suppression can eliminate all those advantages.

(CNS News) Following on the legislative heels of Idaho, Mississippi, and Arkansas, the Alabama Senate voted overwhelmingly to prohibit transgender females, who are biological males, from competing in women s sports programs at K-12 schools.
The Senate voted on Thursday 25-5 to pass the bill; the legislation passed in the House in March 74-19. It now goes to Republican Gov. Kay Ivey, who apparently has not indicated whether she will sign it or not.

LGBT forces and their media allies are raising a ruckus because 17 states are deliberating on 22 bills that would prevent males from destroying the integrity of women’s sports.
