Andy Beshear Says Sports ‘Need to Be Fair’ While Supporting Men in Women’s Sports

EXCERPT:

BESHEAR: "Well, sports need to be fair, and there should be no unfair advantage. But, in Kentucky, we already had rules in place with our Kentucky High School Athletic Association that prevented any of the things that you saw ultimately in colleges or the rest. In Kentucky, we only had one trans athlete, she was a seventh grader that started a field hockey team in her middle school to make friends. But that bill you're talking about didn't just do that. It banned all trans care for youth, any and all, and removed the ability of any parent to make decisions on the health care for their children. So, it was sweeping. But here's my take. We don't throw anybody under the bus. That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy. And I tell you what. If we want to ruin sports, put government in charge of them."
