For those of you who don't know her, Kristi Noem is the governor of South Dakota and a suspected 2024 Presidential contender. She has some stunning conservative credentials such as passing religious freedom legislation, restricting elective abortions, and having one of the highest COVID death rates in the country.

Unfortunately, she vetoed a bill that would have banned transwomen (they have dicks) from participating in women's (they don't have dicks) sports. Given that this is one of the most important issues to Republicans, what can she do to recover from this blunder? Is it possible for her to win on the debate stage while wearing a scarlet letter?

I believe that boys should play boys’ sports, and girls should play girls’ sports. I'm returning House Bill 1217 with the following recommendations as to STYLE and FORM.


Sounds reasonable so far.

We all know Noem's against biological boys/men in biological girls/womens sports.

"Unfortunately, as I have studied this legislation and conferred with legal experts over the past several days, I have become concerned that this bill’s vague and overly broad language could have significant unintended consequences," Noem wrote.

"I am also concerned that the approach House Bill 1217 takes is unrealistic in the context of collegiate athletics," she added, writing that banning transgender athletes from collegiate sports would cause conflict with national college athletic associations.


Vetoing bad law that opens up the potential for abuse is simply good policy, and half of a Governor's job. If the legislators are serious about the law, they'll make it far more specific and limited.

This is one case where the proposed bill was just shit, and deserved to get thrown back for rework.

Posting illegal activities traceably in a place the FBI has access to is generally a bad idea.
