In many parts of the country, people are just done with the trans agenda and are pushing back.

Utah House passes ban on male students in women’s dorms

Responding to concerns about a transgender Resident Assistant in a Utah State University dorm, state lawmakers advanced a bill Tuesday to require that students live in university housing that matches their sex.

The bill, HB 269, passed the Utah House in a 59-13 vote, and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Sponsored by Rep. Stephanie Gricius, R-Eagle Mountain, the bill would require all public higher education institutions to assign students a dorm room based on their sex “regardless of gender identity.”

One of the reasons lawmakers acted was in response to a recent online controversy about a male student serving as an RA for female students at a Utah State dorm, The Salt Lake Tribune reports. The student identifies as a transgender female.

Republican lawmakers said they want to protect young women from harm, The Tribune reports:

Rep. Trevor Lee, R-Layton, also said that the state shouldn’t wait until “something bad happens” to protect women.

Lee said that as the father of two girls, he wants to make sure his daughters and other female students feel safe and comfortable when living on campus. He is also currently running a bill to ban pride flags in K-12 classrooms.

He was joined by freshman Rep. Doug Fiefia, R-Herriman, who spoke of his three daughters, too, and said the bill is “not about discrimination” but protection.

However, Rep. Sahara Hayes, D-Salt Lake City, who identifies as bisexual, opposed the bill, describing it as an attack on the “LGBTQ community,” according to the report.

“I have to tell you, the LGBTQ community is so tired,” Hayes said. “We are so tired of being scared every year when this body meets, because we don’t know how we’re going to be targeted. … But it’s starting to feel inevitable that it’s going to happen.”

“a male student serving as an RA [resident assistant, aka social worker/counselor] for female students at a Utah State dorm”

Get thee to a nunnery… where Sister Superior has been answering to a man in a dress for two millennia.

This is not an attack on the LGBTQWERTY community. It was an action taken to protect the rights of actual females attending the school from gender pretenders using their bathrooms and showers and wandering the hallways.

When the predictable arguments are made, just remember that they are likely the same arguments made to justify housing men pretending to be women in womens prisons, resulting in rapes and pregnant inmates.

The legislature might want to consider how effective the regents and/or administrators of the university are if this had to rise to the level where it needed legislative intervention. Just

Every state must follow Utah’s example. We must get back to sanity.
