Liberals Lose It As DeSantis Signs Bill Protecting Women's Sports

On Tuesday morning, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (FWSA) into law. Intended to do exactly as its name suggests, the FWSA establishes that “Athletic teams or sports designated for females, women, or girls may not be open to students of the male sex.” It goes into effect on July 1.

With DeSantis’ signature, the FWSA makes Florida the eighth state — following Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee, and West Virginia — to formally ban the participation of biological males in women’s athletics. Another Republican governor, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, has signed two executive orders with similar goals.

When signing the FWSA, DeSantis said that Florida needs to “protect our girls.” Various studies — including the December 2020 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine — have backed up his attitude. Even with reduced testosterone levels, transgender women enjoy significant advantages over biological women in height, strength, and coordination. Synthetic hormone alterations do not and cannot compensate for such naturally-occurring differences.
