Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem sent a bill banning biological males from women’s sports back to the South Dakota Legislature with suggestions Friday, citing “vague and overly broad language.”
In a Friday press release, Noem clarified that she believes “boys should play boys’ sports, and girls should play girls’ sports” but warned that the bill’s “vague and overly broad language could have significant unintended consequences.”
