Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is planning to sign legislation that would ban biological males from competing in girl’s sports. During a town hall event with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, DeSantis noted his two young daughters and how he plans to keep the field fair for girls to succeed in their respective sports.

According to The Daily Wire:
“Governor DeSantis, a bill of a similar nature is about to cross your desk,” Ingraham said. “Are you going to sign it?”
“Oh, yes. We’re going to protect our girls,” DeSantis said. “I have a four-year-old daughter and a one-year-old daughter, and they’re very athletic. And we want to have opportunities for our girls. They deserve an even playing field. And that’s what we’re doing, with what Mississippi did, with what Florida did, and I know what other states are going to do. So, I look forward to being able to sign that into law.”

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds also agreed with Desantis that biological males should not compete in girls’ sports and condemn the NCAA’s recent comment regarding transgender athletes, simply saying “it’s not fair.”
I’m going to do what is right for my state. I’m going to do what’s right for girls. I’m a mom of three daughters and a grandmother of three granddaughters who compete. And it’s the right to do. They should have the same opportunities. And we’re working on legislation, too. I should have that to my desk by, hopefully the end of this legislative session, and we’ll be signing that bill.
