Burgum vetoed the legislation arguing that the bill was unnecessary, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/bismarcktribune.com\/news\/state-and-regional\/govt-and-politics\/governor-vetoes-north-dakota-transgender-sports-bill\/article_d0ed9567-f6fb-512a-b0f2-2d209c1efc61.html\">The Bismarck Tribune<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorth Dakota has fairness in girls\u2019 and boys\u2019 sports in large part because of the caring and thoughtful leadership of the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) Board and its members,\u201d Burgum said in a message to Republican House Speaker Kim Koppelman explaining his veto. \u201cWe have every confidence they will continue to ensure a level playing field for the more than 27,000 students who participate in North Dakota high school sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date there has not been a single recorded incident of a transgender girl attempting to play on a North Dakota girls\u2019 team. Further, the NDHSAA already has regulations in place for participation in sex-separated interscholastic contests by transgender students,\u201d Burgum continued.<\/p>\n<p>An effort in the state legislature to override the governor\u2019s veto may stick in the Senate. The House passed the bill with enough votes to override a veto, while the bill fell short of the two-thirds benchmark in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>South Dakota Governor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gov-kristi-noem-passes-on-south-dakota-womens-sports-bill-issues-executive-orders-instead\">Kristi Noem<\/a>, also a Republican, took heat earlier this year after she vetoed a similar bill in her state. Noem vetoed legislation that would have barred biological males from competing on women\u2019s sports teams through college. Noem issued a \u201cstyle and form\u201d veto and sent the legislation back to the State Legislature with suggested changes, which they refused to accept.<\/p>\n<p>The governor issued executive orders after the legislation died that blocked biological males from playing on girls\u2019 teams in elementary through high school, and a separate order directing the state Board of Regents to \u201ctake any and all steps necessary within the law\u201d of preventing transgender girls from playing on women\u2019s sports teams.<\/p>\n<p>The governor said she would work on legislation later in the year. \u201cI will be working with legislative leaders to schedule a special legislative session in late May or early June,\u201d she said in a tweet. \u201cThe special session will address this important issue, as well others (medicinal marijuana and the latest federal spending package.)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After taking criticism from conservatives over her veto, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/noem-ripped-after-spox-suggests-shes-a-victim-of-conservative-cancel-culture-from-just-wrong-to-pathetic\">Noem<\/a>\u00a0spokesman Ian Fury claimed the governor was a victim of \u201ccancel culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Noem is very used to fighting off criticism from the left,\u201d Noem spokesman Ian Fury said in an email. \u201cAfter all, in the past year, she was the only governor in the entire nation to never order a single business or church in her state to close. The left bullied her incessantly, but she didn\u2019t cave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if any number of conservative pundits are to be believed, that same governor who refused to cave is now caving to the NCAA and Amazon on the issue of fairness in women\u2019s sports,\u201d Fury continued. \u201cWhat? Apparently, uninformed cancel culture is fine when the right is eating their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
