(Just The News)—A committee studying women’s sports is recommending a bill requiring Georgia’s high school and college athletes to compete based on the sex listed on their birth certificate.
Boys saying they are girls, or transgender females, would be ineligible to compete in girls sports. They could compete with boys.
The Senate Special Committee on the Protection of Women’s Sports is also asking the General Assembly to consider legislation that would require separate changing rooms also based on biological sex.
The authority to regulate transgender participation in sports would be stripped from high school athletic associations. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones said previously that the General Assembly could have addressed the issue several years ago but gave the authority to the high school athletics association.
“This is an issue that should be decided by the people’s elected representatives,” the recommendations said.
Schools that fail or refuse to abide by the rules could lose their funding, according to the recommendations.
“I recognize that there are passions on both sides of this issue and a genuine desire on both sides to move forward in a way that respects everyone,” said committee Chairman Greg Dolezal, R-Cumming, on Friday. “I hope that we can recognize that we can do two things at one time. We can both treat people respectfully but we can also have an eye towards fairness in the legislative process. And that’s I hope to do as we move forward with this.”
The Georgia High School Association requires high school athletes to compete based on the sex on their birth certificate. The Board of Regents doesn’t have a policy on transgender athletes. The regents passed a resolution in October asking the NCAA to mirror rules set by the NAIA, which requires athletes to compete based on their sex at birth.
Georgia would become the 26th state to enact laws about transgender participation in women’s sports if the Legislature passes the committee’s recommendations. The Biden administration has tried to expand Title IX to include LGBTQ+ people. Twenty-six states have sued, and the rule is tied up in court.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
