But some in our society want to take those opportunities to succeed away from our young women.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some schools and organizations across the country have sought to take away their freedom to achieve by changing the rules of the games,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Noem argued the \u201cplaying field\u201d is not equal between boys and girls due to \u201ccommon-sense biology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">\u201cWhen our children participate in sports and activities, they learn valuable lessons like teamwork, perseverance, and hustle. For many activities, the playing field is level for boys and girls: debate, theater, and academic competitions, to name a few. But for other activities, the playing field is not equal between boys and girls because of basic, common-sense biology,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The bill\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sdlegislature.gov\/Session\/Bill\/22957\/231879\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">text<\/a> reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Any interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural, or club athletic team, sport, or athletic event that is sponsored or sanctioned by an accredited school, school district, an activities association or organization, or an institution of higher education under the control of either the Board of Regents or the Board of Technical Education must be designated as one of the following, based on the biological sex at birth of the participating students:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(1) Females, women, or girls;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(2) Males, men, or boys; or<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(3) Coeducational or mixed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Only female students, based on their biological sex, may participate in any team, sport, or athletic event designated as being for females, women, or girls.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For purposes of this section, biological sex is either female or male and the sex listed on the student\u2019s official birth certificate may be relied upon if the certificate was issued at or near the time of the student\u2019s birth. The failure to comply with this section is a limited waiver of sovereign immunity for relief authorized under this Act.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill aims to be the strongest in the nation to create fairness in sports for women.
