He did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>The move makes South Carolina the 16th state to explicitly ban biological males from women\u2019s sports, according to the American Principles Project (APP):\u00a0Idaho,\u00a0Mississippi,\u00a0Tennessee,\u00a0Arkansas,\u00a0West Virginia,\u00a0Montana,\u00a0Alabama,\u00a0Florida,\u00a0Texas,\u00a0South Dakota,\u00a0Iowa,\u00a0Oklahoma,\u00a0Arizona,\u00a0Utah, and Kentucky have also passed such legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMale athletes do not belong in our daughters\u2019 sports, period,\u201d APP President Terry Schilling said, referring to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/americans-oppose-transgender-surgeries-anti-puberty-blockers-for-minors-poll\">organization\u2019s polling showing<\/a> that the majority of Americans do not support trans surgeries or puberty blockers for minors. \u201cThis is a view shared by an overwhelming majority of Americans, as our recent polling of battleground states has shown. Biology matters, and no amount of gaslighting by woke ideologues will change that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schilling noted that \u201cthere\u00a0is no excuse left for those states that haven\u2019t\u201d passed such legislation, \u201cparticularly those led by Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is now a litmus-test issue for the GOP, and voters will be paying attention to what their leaders either do or fail to do as we approach the midterms,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Progressive groups had succeeded in defeating 8 different versions of the bill between 2020 and 2022, South Carolina United for Justice and Equality (a coalition of over 30 LGBTQ organizations) said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe passage of this extreme political attack of a bill brings up so many feelings: Sadness for the trans youth who will now experience school as a place of exclusion; Anger at the lawmakers who perpetuated violence and ignorance with their vote; and fear for the many youth who will see this news and feel rejected and erased,\u201d Executive Director of Gender Benders Ivy Hill said in a statement. \u201cI also feel pride for the thousands of South Carolinians who have taken action against this attack, and I know that we will never stop fighting. Our coalition is exploring every strategy possible to ensure dignity and equality for transgender people in SC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the governor signed the bill, Hill urged McMaster \u201cto do what six governors before him\u201d had done (including three Republican governors): \u201cVeto this unnecessary, dangerous bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo do anything less is to waste taxpayer dollars defending a bill that has already been ruled unconstitutional by two federal judges, including one in West Virginia,\u201d said Hill, who also swerves as\u00a0Community Health Program Director of Campaign for Southern Equality. <strong>\u201c<\/strong>H.4608 is a frivolous attempt to address a manufactured problem, and it has no place in South Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican South Carolina Gov.
