The only real legislation the Chaos Party want to pass is to destroy democracy or any substance of democracy and live happily ever after in a State of Feudalism. (with them near the top toadying to the ruling oligarchy.

My trivia trap mind has been sent to work. Two cases of Southern California HS teams. One forfeiting against another girls volleyball team with a lesbian player another case involving harassment of a girls track team with a trans member. A similar case in Vermont involving a high school girls basketball team.

The El Cajon Christian HS and the Vermont case involve religious backed schools that made objections.

The California Girls HS State Championship track meet (LA Times) regards two different girls from two different schools and areas that were harassed at the regional then statewide meets.

The CIF regulates high school sports in California. The following is from the LA Times article:

“The Times spoke to five local coaches of runners who were either slated to compete in Friday’s girls’ 1,600-meter heats, competed in last Saturday’s Masters against Barrett, or both. When asked for their views, three said they simply coached athletes to compete against anyone in the field regardless of identity, while two expressed belief that transgender girls should be placed in their own separate heat for competition.”

“”Adults have created this problem,” said Oaks Christian coach Wesley Smith. “Adults need to fix this problem.””

“The CIF protects transgender participation in sports in its bylaws, as its Guidelines for Gender Identity Participation read: “All students should have the opportunity to participate in CIF activities in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on a student’s records.””

“Students or parents must contact individual schools to indicate students have a “consistent gender identity different than the gender listed on the student’s school registration records” in order to change participation in a sport by gender, according to the bylaws.”

This is a very complex issue for a variety of reasons, way beyond the subject of Georgia’s post, but the point being the GQP Chaos members in the House are adding poorly written, half baked, poison pill amendments to either sneak thing’s through or purposely have legislation killed to further obstruction, grind government to a halt, and destroy government. They are intent on using a sledgehammer whenever possible.
