The bills now head to the Senate with two weeks left in the session.
The Missouri House passed a pair of bills Thursday barring transgender students from participating on sports teams that align with their gender identity.
Both bills were initially unrelated to school sports, but legislators adopted the amendments with the transgender ban after hours of intense debate in each instance.
One of the bills, which lawmakers passed by a vote of 95-46, outright bars transgender secondary school students from joining sports that match their gender identity. Instead they would have to participate with peers that align with the sex listed on their birth certificate.
The other bill, passed by a vote of 96-47, allows school districts to hold referendums to give them the authority to also ban transgender girls to participate in girls’ sports.

It appears the right is afraid of 2 things primarily:
Anything that has to do with sex.
and
Anything that has to do with race.

Anything that has to do with race.

Even though studies have shown that transgender athletes don't have an appreciable advantage.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I don't care what you call William "Lia" Thomas, because he is a biological male. Want to know why he isn't winning all his races against the biological women? It's because he was a barely above average swimmer in the men's divisions but he wasn't world class or even close, which is why he now swims in the women's division so he can rack up wins.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - You assume a lot that is incorrect and you just lost your hard earned money. Your tone and language, in almost all of your posts, indicate that you hate men. You are a Misandrist. You miss the mark on me (and everyone else for that matter) in everything you assume. You also have no ability to hold a conversation with someone you disagree with, other than to call them names in an juvenile attempt to shut down opposing points of view.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - No you don't, Miss Misandrist. "It's THIS fucked off forum that is full of misogynists, racists, sexists, xenophobes....". You forgot Misandrists as well. If you weren't betting money in your reply to me, what were you betting? Have the day you deserve, girlfriend. Oh, and look, I can hit the "down vote" button as well as you can!

Kind of funny when Caitlyn Jenner agrees with it. If they're born a man, they have the muscle mass and they'll be able to cheat and Sports. In high school, the fastest female on my team ran it about the same time I did and she was able to be one of the best runners in our district. If I went and declared myself a female and only able to run a 4:55 mile and set up a 4:18 Mi like our best male runner, I could cheat on the female team three I've no sympathy for the transgender students who want to participate in sports
