Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a bill banning transgender girls from participating in female sports at public schools, joining a wave of similar measures emerging from Republican-controlled statehouses across the country

Supporters of the bill, due to take effect on Jan. 18, say it is aimed at protecting fairness in school sports by eliminating what they see as an inherent physical competitive advantage of transgender athletes playing on female teams.

Seven other states have passed similar laws this year, part of a Republican-led national campaign since Idaho in March 2020 barred athletes who were assigned a male gender at birth from competing on sports teams against those assigned as female in public schools or colleges. Other states whose legislatures have followed Idaho's lead include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee and West Virginia, while South Dakota's governor acted by executive order. Some of those are likewise under court challenge.Still, at least 35 bills to exclude transgender youth from athletics have been introduced in 31 states this year, up from 29 in 2020 and two in 2019, according to a tally earlier this year by the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's anti-migrant plan: Many arrested, many detained, few prosecutedHundreds of migrants have been arrested for criminal trespass in Texas over the last few months. They're held in jail, sometimes without legal help, for weeks. but many of the cases are dropped before prosecution. So isn't that illegal detention and impunity on the part of USA? I love how a country built on slavery, kidnapping, genocide and theft can declare people 'illegal' because they cross an imaginary line drawn up at a border decided on by millionaires that steal money, push drugs, outsource jobs and destroy lives without remorse. Who cares? They should be glad they are not shot on sight!
