this year to push back on LGBTQ+ freedoms, especially targeting transgender people’s everyday lives — including sports, health care, bathrooms, workplaces and schools.In 2021, Burgum
that would have banned transgender girls from playing on girls’ teams in public schools. Lawmakers didn’t have enough votes that year to override the veto.This year, lawmakers wrote new legislation to replicate and expand that bill — including at the college level. Those bills are now law.
Well Done - common sense is on its way back!!
He signed it only because there was a veto-proof majority for it, so he couldn't veto it like he did the last one. He's a pathetic Democrat in RINO diaguise.
Had a boring day?
I don't see any reason for the govt to tell private colleges what they can and can't do in such matters. The rules should be up to the individuals.
Makes sense
Headline is confusing. You mean to say “prohibiting biological males from joining female sports teams in K-12 and college.” Now it makes sense.
What happened to 'It's just a game.'? Sports don't matter.
Talk about a misleading headline. The law doesn’t permit biological men from taking over womens sports.
Absolute Giga Chad! Women and girls thank you, Gov. Burgum!
Thank you, Governor!
Men are not women
I’m stunned that fairness in sports was a consideration
Give them a league of their own.
Nope, they're respecting women by protecting males from destroying women's same sex sports. Men can play on the men's teams. Men do not need to destroy women's sports, regardless of how they 'feel.' Stop trying to oppress women!
Kudos to him
Excellent. They are more than welcome to join the boys and men’s team. Females deserve better-we have fought for generations to get where we are today. Thank you North Dakota!
Good job, North Dakota!
Why are there no law banning transgender men from competing in men’s sports? 🤔
North Dakota? How many people could this possibly impact?
A great decision that I agree with. My god, we have to pass for common sense
I do think it’s not fair to women who worked so hard all their lives to compete. Maybe allow it, but just award it differently.
KProtein19 Either you believe that there is no physiological and biological differences bw males & females that warrants segregating sports by sex OR you know that males have a biological and physiological advantage and believe that his need for validation of his gender is more important.

This is the way.

Good. Stop trying to erase women and their uniqueness & their accomplishments. Create a division strictly for Trans Athletes.
Woohoooo!
Sports are about fair competition not “gender” feelings

The fact that these trans bans are what the GOP is laser focused on with everything else going on in the country…kinda shows how deeply unserious they are about solving actual problems.
Men should not compete in womens sports, it only hurts women and all they have accomplished.
Good!
So no boys or men in female sport leagues. The abject horror that must wreak at AP.
Rightly so. Thanks for protecting women’s sports. 👍🏽
Great news!
North Dakota’s Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed two transgender athlete bans into law, effectively PROTECTING REAL GIRLS AND WOMEN FROM BEING DISPLACED AND ERASED FROM female sports teams in K-12 and college. (There. Fixed your headline)
It’s alarming that this is how they are spending their time and our $ marginalizing portions of our population instead of fixing real problems. These are people, not pawns in your hate filled game.
Finally! Why does this even need to be a law? It is common sense!
Thank God! It's about time the rest of the country started protecting women and their rights!
you know they got a new Lens Crafters in Bismarck everyone is talking about it. Free corn dogs and everything.
Well done ND!
Exactly how many boys are rushing to become girls all in the pursuit of glory of dominating girls cross country running?
Republicans really want to keep losing elections. This may work in red states, but most of Americans aren’t hateful bigot racist & want BIG GOVERNMENT in our lives.
Good job North Dakota!
Good, groomers.
As it should be. Otherwise women’s sports will be co-opted by a fictitious version of the “gender”.
There must be at least 1 or 2 trans athletes in ND. Seriously. How many people does this even affect? Surely, there are bigger problems in North Dakota.
Way to go ND just like kansas did
Good. It is outrageous men are even allowed to compete on women's teams and enter women's locker rooms. Absurd.
So why is it always about trans women and never trans men?
Great news! This will help greatly in our fight against inflation and the terrible scourge of gun violence that has taken over our streets. Thank you GOP for fighting for what matters!
Good
Good
Time for T-League (Transgender League) where trans people can just compete against each other. 👍
This is what protecting girls looks like. These girls don’t need to worry about some creep and his penis in their locker room or on their fields.
Good for North Dakota. I’m sure I’ll be labeled as a bigot and transphobe because I don’t believe biological men should play on women’s teams. How very unreasonable of me.
Good this madness must stop before things get ugly with civil unrest.
Ok so the other way can still happen then right ?
Good!
👍
Republicans platform is basically - “we’re going to ban and attack everything we don’t like”
Oh wow. are transgender athletes handing out AR-15s and causing inflation? If not, what purpose does this serve?
Trans youth are being targeted by Republicans based on ignorance & bigotry . School sports is about physical & mental health, friendships & teamwork they are depriving them of all these.
Trying to save women's sports
Good….protect women’s sports
Coed leagues. Do it.
Thank God! There’s no such thing as a transgender athlete in the first place
You say this like it's a bad thing
Amazing!!
The fact that the governor even needed to sign such bills is hilarious! 🤡 🌎
👏👏👏
What’s a woman? I’m not a biologist
Banning men from women's sports? What's the issue here?
We should just get rid of gender in sports in general. Every person has different gifts, backgrounds, support, equipment etc. so it is never an equal playing field. If we aren't going to try to balance for some of the other issues, why only do gender.
The right thing to do. Good for ND.
Good
People in the replies citing 'common sense' are being simplistic. The application of scientific principles uncovers knowledge beyond superficiality. Using just 'common sense', for instance, one would be quite certain that the sun and other stars orbit Earth.
As he should.
What does legislation have to do with sports….what an overstep
Because we don’t have any important issues in this state. Republican priorities are so out of whack in this country.
Maybe there is some hope left for this country.
Win for REAL women and girls.
Good.
More cancel culture from the GOP
This is the way it should be... its a shame and absolute insanity that it has to be a law. I cant believe the libbers are ok with this, men taking opportunities from women and girls.
Keep Men out of women’s sports! Stop the leftist war on women!
Good
Good
HOORAY. Sanity returns.
…because, the GOP IS MADE UP OF D I C K H E A D S.
Good!!
Common sense prevails
A solution in search of a 'problem.'
Ooh-Rah !! 👍👌
I’m calling for an immediate ban on jeans with sports coats then Dougie
Well, that's rare. A politician with common sense.
how very anti life liberty and the pursuit of happiness of them
Yea that’s small government for you lol republicans stand for nothing
Smart move. 😊 🇺🇸
As a staunch Democrat and hater of almost all things Republican, I agree with this as a temporary measure. This is a nuanced discussion and everyone must be accommodated for. But right now, trans-athletes need to be patient. Young women can't lose titles over unfair advantages.
Atp with all that extra shit just start up a whole new league boom no more complainin
Why can’t transgenders have their own league ?
Prohibiting biological men from competing against women* Fixed the headline for you, old one had too much newspeak
Guys shouldn’t compete against gals unless it’s a coed event or sport.
