Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed legislation barring transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, joining seven other states in what he described as an effort to protect female sports.

Mr. DeSantis, a Republican, gave the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act his signature flanked by teenage athletes at Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville.

“I can tell you that in Florida, girls are going to play girls’ sports, and boys are going to play boys’ sports,” Mr. DeSantis said at the event.

Mr. DeSantis becomes the eighth governor in the last year to sign such legislation on scholastic sports despite opposition from the American Civil Liberties Union and LGBTQ groups, which have decried the laws as discriminatory.

The ACLU already has sued Idaho, which became the first state to pass such a law last year, and West Virginia, where Republican Gov. Jim Justice signed into law a bill scheduled to go into effect July 8 unless blocked by a court.

American Principles Project President Terry Schilling, who attended the bill-signing, said Mr. DeSantis “has solidified his reputation as a fearless conservative who will face down attacks from the woke elite in order to do what’s right for his constituents.”

The U.S. Olympics track and field trials are going on now and are being broadcast by NBC. Because Mr. M is a former college runner and current marathoner, we're watching.

 Yesterday evening, a female runner named Nikki Hiltz advanced through the first heat of the 1,500 meter race. She's a lesbian who considers herself "non-binary" and "transgender",  insisting on the pronouns "they" and "them" instead of "she" and "her." One of the TV commentators - a female former Olympian herself - last night referred to Nikki as "she," and subsequently was forced to apologize for misgendering Hiltz. I am not kidding.

This is insanity.
