Oklahoma gov signed bill banning trans girls from school sports while surrounded by cis girls
The governor of Oklahoma signed a law banning transgender girls from participating in school sports, surrounded by cisgender girls while a transgender woman stood outside his office protesting.
The “Save Women’s Sports Act” will require parents to sign an affidavit that states the sex assigned at birth to their child as a prerequisite to participating in school sports. The law also allows the families of cisgender student-athletes to sue school districts if they are forced to compete against all girls instead of just cisgender girls.
The bill was passed by the Republican-controlled Oklahoma House and Senate mostly along party lines and affects both high school and college athletics.
“When it comes to sports and athletics, girls should compete against girls,” Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) said as he signed the bill. “Boys should compete against boys.”

Gov. Shitt would seemingly have more than right-wing support on this type of legislation. Frankly, that is what is really disgusting.

and this isn't the first time.
Right, I mean right! 
This is yet ONE more bill that is going to be challenged in OK and fought at the taxpayer's expense as opposed to putting that money to something for all Oklahomans, like bridges! I know there are some in the wings who are already planning the legal strategy here to fight this bigotry in court.
The picture reminds me of what a friend once sarcastically called the Princeton basketball team in the 90's... "A picket fence".
And you're right. That's just insult on top of injury.. The bills are bad enough. But now they're going to waste taxpayer's money because these are going to be fought in court. Of course, it's never, ever the goons in three piece suits who signed these into law who pay for the lawsuits. Nope. It's the taxpayers...
Just like what us Californians had to endure last year because "freedumb" fighters wanting to whine about masks and vaccines and social distancing wasted our money trying to recall the governor... Only to watch Newsom get a higher percentage of the votes in the recall than he did when initially elected.
But, hey... Let's hear it for the party of fiscal responsibility and personal freedom! 
That said.. Let's hope this gets struck down in the courts, and struck down hard.
