Good going governor !
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an official proclamation on Tuesday recognizing Emma Weyant, a Florida native and Virginia swimmer, the winner of the 500-yard freestyle at the NCAA Championships last week and not University of Pennsylvania t*********r swimmer Lia Thomas.

His proclomation means nothing. He is simply pandering to his right wi g base.
I will say that I am troubled and unsure of how to handle this problem of t*********red athletes competing, but DeSantis isn't making things better with this ignorant move.

None of my friends are troubled by this: If you were born with a penis you should never be able to join female athletics.
Why can't T*********RED people join men's athletics?

You’re absolutely wrong. The NCAA leadership needs to pass a resolution the states “ in athletics you will compete in the g****r of your birth”. Good that you don’t live here because Florida loves him and there is a good chance he will be the Republican candidate for President in 2024, and based on what has happened in the past 14 months, he will win in a landslide.

If more intelligent people lived in Florida, DeSantis would not be the governor.
The one thing I will tell you is that simplistic solutions based upon nothing but your, feelings are usually ineffective and fail at their mission.
I admit I don't know what the correct answer is, but I'm sure that your solution isn't it.
As to Deathsantis becoming President, I hope not. He'll definitely be one of the worst three Presidents in the history of this country. #1 Donald Trump #2 William Henry Harrison #3 DeSantis.
BTW Harrison would have done much better but he died after only 31 days in office.

Florida probably has the largest number of very wealthy and intelligent people retired of any state. And it is generally acknowledged that Jimmy Carter was the worst president the country ever had until of course Biden leaves in which case Jimmy will move to second. Question for you if you had a daughter competing in NCAA athletics, how would you feel about her competing against a man who identifies as a female?
why don't t*********red people have their own teams?

Good solution that wouldn’t be acceptable to the libs.
DeSantis is smart, and calculating; and ambitious.
He will out-Trump Trump

There are not enough of them to support an independent category.
Who would finance a national competition comprised of ten or thirty athletes? (just a guess, I do not know the numbers, its prolly lower)
Especially if you break out a t***s female and a t***s male classification. The numbers dwindle.
And now for the national wrestling competition, we have Alex competing against...wait, she is the only athlete in the competion. So, on to swimming, we have Lia competing against...wait, same problem.

After graduating from Yale in 2001 with a B.A. magna cum laude in history, DeSantis spent a year as a history teacher at the Darlington School. He then attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 2005 with a Juris Doctor cum laude. Just guessing but he is probably smarter than any of the Libs in the attic.

Not enough interest to get the big money.
Why can't t*********red people play in men's sports?

DeSantis taught at Darlington...the school in Rome, Georgia?
My high school alma mater.
On edit: He spent one year there.
