Nebraska Governor Signs Law That Bans Males From Female Sports
“We were only able to get the athletic portion on, but I will be back next year bringing you the bathrooms and the locker rooms…the work is not done”
This is where most of the country is on this issue. The 2024 election proved that.

Nebraska governor signs law banning men from women’s sports
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed into law the Stand With Women Act, which forbids biological males from competing in women’s sports in K-12 schools as well as at colleges and universities.
“Because of the physical differences between males and females, having separate athletic teams based on the sex of the athlete reduces the chance of injury to female athletes, promotes equality between the sexes, provides opportunities for female athletes to compete against their female peers rather than against male athletes, and allows female athletes to compete on a fair playing field for scholarships and other athletic accomplishments,” the law states.
At a signing ceremony, Pillen praised the development, saying the act “is really a big deal, for our young people, for our kids, standing up for women, and it’s a big deal standing up for the values of Nebraska.”
Prior to its passage, the bill was hotly contested, and attempts to ban biological men from women’s bathrooms and locker rooms did not make the final cut.
“We were only able to get the athletic portion on, but I will be back next year bringing you the bathrooms and the locker rooms…the work is not done,” said state Sen. Kathleen Kauth during the signing ceremony.
KOLN reported that not everyone is pleased, such as OutNebraska Executive Director Abbi Swatsworth, who stated: “We are disappointed by the signing of LB 89, a transgender youth sports ban, into law today. Our hearts break for the young children and families who are celebrating Pride this month while also grappling with the reality of this harmful legislation.”

the fact that we are even having to defend against this is the real story
how did the gop >>parents let it get to this point!!??
Now this will be challenged in Court, of course. Elections and public opinion will not prevail if they can find at least one progressive and unelected Federal Judge in Nebraska who is willing to strike it down. The Left is canny enough to realize that this is another losing issue for them with the sane majority, so they will just hand it off to an ally who is immune from consequences.
