South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem announced yesterday that she will sign a bill ensuring women’s sports teams and public schools be reserved for those who are biological females.

The Women’s Fairness in Sports bill passed the South Dakota House 50-17 last month, and was passed by the Senate yesterday in a 20-15 vote.

In response to the news of the bill passing in the South Dakota senate, Noem tweeted, “In South Dakota, we’re celebrating #InternationalWomensDay by defending women’s sports! I’m excited to sign this bill very soon.”

A spokesman for Noem told Fox News, “We anticipate that when Governor Noem signs the bill, South Dakota will be the first state this year to pass legislation of this sort.”

During his first day in office President Joe Biden signed an executive order which dictates that federally funded educational institutions must admit biological males to women’s sports teams and scholarships. 

Last month, when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the executive order, she said Biden’s belief is that “trans rights are human rights.” 

“And that’s why he signed that executive order,” she said. “And in terms of the determinations by universities and colleges, I would certainly defer to them.”
