It’s Friday, February 28th, 2020…but before we begin, consider this hopelessly-misleading headline from FOX News<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transgender athletes may be banned from some sports amid Alabama legislation<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“…The new legislation will force transgender athletes to compete under their gender assigned at birth<\/em><\/span> if it passes. Alabama is currently pushing for the transgender athletes ban<\/em><\/span> that many across the country have already established<\/em><\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A bill that is sponsored by\u00a0Alabama\u00a0state Rep.\u00a0Chris Pringle and is known as the “gender is real legislative act” or “girl act,” calls for\u00a0transgender athletes in K-12 public schools to compete based on the gender listed on their birth certificate<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span>…<\/p>\n

…According to Pringle<\/em><\/span>, transgender students will still be able to compete<\/em><\/span>, they just have to compete under the gender assigned to them at birth<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Forget about “according to Pringle”: did “journalist” Jayla Whitfield\u00a0bother to read the bill<\/em><\/span>\u00a0so as to personally<\/em><\/span> ascertain precisely<\/em><\/span> what the legislation says<\/em><\/span>?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n
