How The Republican Governor Of Utah Just Shamed His Entire Party

RIP U.S. Democracy said:
To the shock of most people in Utah, Governor Spencer Cox just vetoed a bill that would have stopped transgender children from playing school sports.

Cox wrote a letter explaining his decision, noting that there are just four trans kids playing school sports in the entire state of Utah, and only one is a trans girl.

Cox compares that to the 86 percent of trans youths reporting suicidality and the 56 percent who say they’ve attempted suicide, according to one study (other studies show similar results).

He also wrote the following in his letter. --





I admire no one in the Republican Party. However, if I were to admire a Republican, it would be Spencer Cox.

Well done, Sir. Your stand on this issue took a lot of moral courage in your insanely crazy GOP state.

Where there's just four trannies, there will always be more.

Cox is a flaming marshmallow.

Whoa!! There will be more than 4!! Maybe there will even be 100 transgender kids playing sports in the entire state of Utah! What will we do then???

It's pathetic to see grown Republican "men" terrified of boogey men....well, boogey kids in this case.

Governor Cox has held statewide office in Utah since 2013, and was sworn into office as Governor last January. He is a well known commodity and enjoys high approval ratings.

That he did the right thing should surprise no one that knows him.

As for HB11, it isn’t as popular as you might think, and the veto override didn’t come easy.

Its Utah. Those Dem legislators voting 'No' on the bill override, won't be helping him one bit in the GOP primary. The only thing he has going for him is time. He's got three years for voters to forget this.
 
Did someone put something in the nations water ?

How come transgender is such a big issue now.

It didn't exist until about 20 years ago.

In a time where radicals can't even decide what "is" is, yes, simplicity is crucial.

Now calmy go **** ********. ;)
 
RIP U.S. Democracy said:
Women's civil rights are not being violated. Women are free to compete with the transgender kids. And 99% of these transgender kids will probably never even have a shot at a scholarship.

Life isn't always fair. It certainly isn't fair for these transgender kids just trying to
Do you also want to get rid of affirmative action? Sometimes smart white kids lose scholarships to smart minority kids. Those are the choices that we make as a society.

Got it. So lets give a head start to the gay kids so they can find happiness and a sense of belonging in a society that is hostile to them.

Unless you hate gay kids?

Well, considering that you're afraid of children...simplicity must be your middle name.

Yes, that's a logical assumption....gay boys don't get a chance to compete in girls' sports, like transgender kids do....therefore, I must hate gay boys.

Yeah, no giant leap in logic there.

That doesn't even make any sense. Seriously. Your argument is searching for relevance.

How is a 2 minute head start going to give them happiness?

You think the Dem representatives would’ve supported Governor Cox in the GOP primary under any circumstances?

Not only did no Dems vote yes in the House and Senate, but two Republicans in both the House and Senate voted with the Dems.

How odd? You don't want to give an advantage to gays but you do to trans women?


Why?

That's pretty cold, man. Transgender kids and gay kids commit suicide in high numbers. I think helping them feel like they belong is more important than a few high school girls missing out on a scholarship.

I don't want to give transgender kids an advantage. The transgender kids don't want an advantage.

Their life is hard enough that this "advantage" isn't going to matter much. They just want to have fun and they don't want to be pariahs.

Again, that has nothing to do with the law in Utah that affects a total of 4 freaking people. This is about kids under 18.

You're losing this argument and now you're changing the subject.
