Only girls should play girls’ sports. Given the legislature’s failure to accept my proposed revisions to HB 1217, I am immediately signing two executive orders to address this issue: one to protect fairness in K-12 athletics, and another to do so in college athletics. (1/3)

Additionally, I will be working with legislative leaders to schedule a special legislative session in late May or early June. The special session will address this important issue, as well others (medicinal marijuana and the latest federal spending package.) (2/3)

If you had spent as much time worrying about COVID as you have attacking transgender teenagers, you might not have led the world in infections and deaths.

How much time and taxpayer money was wasted on this unnecessary bill? There are NO transgender athletes in SD and there are already policies in place if needed in the future. All the GOP does is play on people’s fears of what they don’t understand.
