1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between.
It could result in genital exams and more.
I'm covering live.
Watch:
www.senate.gov/legislative/...
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Senator Durbin just railed agianst the bill, and how it could be used to target cisgender athletes and accuse them of being trans.
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
The senators I am personally watching: Slotkin, Warner, Shaheen, Peters, Warnock, Ossoff, Fetterman, Kaine, Baldwin
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Currently there is a short break. It is open floor time and senators are speaking about whatever they would like - but some are talking about the sports ban which we will see a vote on likely sometime around 6.
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
One good sign: Durbin is the Senate Dem Whip, so him saying this might indicate they are whipping a unified bloc.
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Tammy Baldwin: This is a decision for sports leagues at the local level. They have to thoughtfully craft policies best for all players, not blanket mandates with unintended consequences. I trust our states, leagues, localities to make these decisions.
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Baldwin: "This bill sends a message that certain kids are not welcome in little league. That some kids are not welcome in their school at all. What a heartbreaking message to a child. No American should be demonized and picked on so that politicians can win elections."
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Tubberville: "we have women's teams in some states that are all boys, all transgender boys"
Lol... What?
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Tubberville alludes to Imane Khelif in the Olympics.
Khelif is a cisgender woman, has never transitioned genders.
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
This vote is for Lidna McMahon, this is not the trans vote, just so y'all know.
Trans sports vote will come after.
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
God the Senate is slow. How do you congressional reporters do it?
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
They are now voting on cloture on the trans sports ban!
Erin Reed (@erininthemorning.com):
Fetterman a N.

Yes, I'm so happy my emails to Fetterman worked!
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Bless you
