Hello from the State Capitol,

 

This week, I voted in favor of legislation this week that would prohibit boys from playing in girls’ sports in Minnesota.

 

It’s embarrassing we even have to debate this. Minnesota continues to be one of only a handful of states that thinks its fine for a someone who was born as a boy to play in a sport with girls. It’s not fair and it’s not safe for our female athletes.

 

The bill specially states that only students of the female sex may participate in an elementary or secondary school athletic team or sport that an educational institution has restricted on the basis of sex to women or girls. If there is a dispute, a student must present a signed physician’s statement indicating the student’s sex is based solely on the student’s internal and external anatomy, natural occurring level of testosterone, and an analysis of the student’s chromosomes.

 

The bill received a full vote of the Minnesota House on March 3. All 67 Republicans voted for the proposal, and all 66 Democrats voted against it. 68 votes are needed in order for legislation to be approved in the Minnesota House. Following some procedural motions after the vote, the bill could be revisited by the House in the weeks ahead.

 

Talk to you soon,

 

Greg
