'Unfair injuries and trauma can be avoided with rational legislation. In claiming that the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act is a mere culture-war bill, NC_Governor Cooper is dismissing his own state’s reality.' -Briana Oser
Cooper defended his decision in a statement: “We don’t need politicians inflaming their political culture wars by making broad, uninformed decisions about an extremely small number of vulnerable children that are already handled by a robust system that relies on parents, schools and sports organizations. Republican governors in other states have vetoed similar bills because they hurt their states’ reputation and economy and because they are neither fair nor needed.
Just last fall, a North Carolina teenager suffered serious head and neck injuries from a spike by a transgender athlete at her high school volleyball game. According to local news outlet WLOS, she is still struggling with partial paralysis on the right side of her body, loss of vision, and constant headaches, besides mental symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
Leftist politicians and LGBT activists used the same argument about fringe “culture wars” in their protest against biological bathroom bills for schools, which would prohibit transgender people from going into bathrooms that do not align with their biological sex. They denied the dangers that Republican politicians accurately predicted.
