The state of Oklahoma began enforcement of the law Aug. 1 that requires sports teams in the state’s public schools, including colleges or universities be designated solely based on athletes’ “biological sex,” or sex assigned at birth.
Republican Governor Kevin Stitt in March signed into law Senate Bill 2, the “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which restricts transgender girls from playing on school sports teams that match their gender identity.
In early July, NBC Oklahoma City affiliate KFOR-TV reported that some school districts were beginning to distribute “biological sex affidavits” to student athletes to enforce the law.
An activist tweeted a picture of one school district’s affidavit:
Do you understand what is happening?
This has nothing to do with encouraging girls to be athletes.
This is totalitarianism. It is the white nationalist agenda. The anti-LGBTQ agenda. The anti-abortion agenda. It is all the same agenda.
