Another State Obeys Trump’s Orders
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA — In a major win for common-sense values, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen has officially signed legislation that protects the integrity of girls’ and women’s sports by banning biological males from competing in female athletic events.
Surrounded by supporters, including prominent women athletes and advocates like former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, Gov. Pillen praised the law as a critical step in defending fairness and opportunity for young women.
“This is about protecting our daughters,” Pillen said. “They deserve a level playing field in school sports.”
The bill passed after a narrow party-line vote in the Nebraska Legislature, breaking a Democrat-led filibuster. Originally, the bill also aimed to restrict access to bathrooms and locker rooms by biological sex, but that provision was temporarily dropped to secure key Republican votes.
State Senator Kathleen Kauth, who introduced the bill, promised to revisit those additional protections in next year’s legislative session.
“Men are men. Women are women,” Kauth declared. “We have a duty to defend biological truth and protect Nebraska families.”
Since 2018, fewer than 10 transgender students have applied to participate in K-12 sports in Nebraska, according to the state’s School Activities Association. Still, concerned parents and conservative leaders see the trend as part of a larger national agenda.
Across the country, over 24 states have passed similar laws defending female sports. This year, President Donald Trump took decisive action at the federal level, issuing an executive order reinforcing sex-based sports categories and fighting liberal states like Maine that allow transgender athletes to compete against girls.
Conservative voters have rallied behind these efforts, arguing that fairness, privacy, and safety in school sports are at stake.
Not surprisingly, left-wing organizations like the ACLU have lashed out. Their Nebraska director claimed the law “excludes” some students. But for many parents, this law simply restores basic fairness.
“This isn’t about hate,” one Nebraska mom said. “It’s about protecting girls’ futures.”
With this law now in place, Nebraska has drawn a firm line: female athletes deserve a fair chance to compete, and biological reality cannot be ignored.
