The vote to override the governor's veto was 29-8 in the Kentucky Senate and 72-23 in the Kentucky House. When he vetoed the legislation on April 6, Gov. Beshear said the proposal violated the "equal protection rights" of "transgender children seeking to participate in girls' or women's sports."

Under the new law, the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, any school that participates in interscholastic athletics must designate all of its "athletic teams, activities, and sports for students in grades six through twelve" as either boys, coed, or girls.

"A student's biological sex" is determined by what it says on a student's "original, unedited birth certificate issued at the time of birth," reads the legislation. In addition, the law states, "An athletic activity or sport designated as 'girls' for students in grades six (6) through twelve (12) shall not be open to members of the male sex."

"This is a huge win for the integrity of women's sports," said State Sen. Robby Mills (R-Henderson). "Kentucky is a leading voice for female athletes across the nation. The Kentucky General Assembly stands in support of female athletes everywhere as they work hard to achieve their goals and dreams."

Riley Gaines, a real female who swims for the University of Kentucky, said, "I know I speak for the majority of female athletes across every NCAA sport when I say biological males should not be competing against women."

"It's crucial for the NCAA to open its eyes and recognize the irrefutable damage being done to everything Title IX stands for," she said, "equity, fairness and creating opportunities for women to succeed at an elite level and in life."

In a statement, the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign (HRC) said, "It isn't necessary to understand what it means to be transgender in order to understand that kids want to be able to play school sports on a team where they can be included and celebrated for being who they really are.

"On the other hand, the Kentucky General Assembly chose to politicize these kids, to isolate them, to prevent them from being included and to prevent them from being able to play with their friends—and all without addressing the actual challenges facing women's sports programs, like chronic underfunding.

"Kentucky's legislators should never forget that they are culpable for the harm that they are causing to children, who must now bear the weight of even more discrimination." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
