Nate Grasz of the Nebraska Family Alliance says Gov. Jim Pillen (R) has signed an executive order "establishing a women's bill of rights."
"We were very happy to see Gov. Pillen take this next step," Grasz tells AFN. "We're going to do everything we can going forward to continue to ensure that in Nebraska, girls' sports are for girls and that we don't have to wonder when we drop our kids off at school if they're going to be referred to by different pronouns or who's going to be in their restroom or locker room."
The executive order, among other things, keeps boys from participating in girls' sports.
"We're seeing men taking the place of women on the podium, taking away scholarships, taking away opportunities, forcing young girls to have to share locker rooms and restrooms with men," the family advocate laments. "That doesn't fit right here, so there was a lot of support for this decision, and I think something that most people are very thankful for."
The executive order declares there are legitimate reasons to distinguish between the two genders. In addition to at school and athletics, it points out that it matters in prisons, domestic violence cases, and at rape crisis centers.
A bout of wokeism
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth, which is devoted exclusively to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda, says leaders within the largest grassroots Republican women's organization in the nation are overlooking the group's core members.
"The New Jersey branch of the National Federation of Republican Women nominated this man who tried to become a woman, calls himself Pam now, Pam Daniels," LaBarbera details. "They nominated him as Woman of the Year."
That, he says, did not sit well with the "real, authentic, conservative women who are part of this national group."
"They're saying, 'Enough is enough. We need a bylaw on our books which says that only women can become leaders and voting members in this organization,'" LaBarbera relays.
This incident reminds him of the time a man who went by the name Gina Roberts was elected president of the Escondido, California chapter of Republican Women's Federated after he bullied his way into Republican circles as a woman.
In response, many of the Republican women's chapters in California and elsewhere reworded their bylaws to reflect the salient fact that a woman is a person who is biologically female. Roberts eventually resigned from his leadership position in the women's-only organization.
At least 23 states have passed laws banning male students from participating in females' sports, and more than 20 states have implemented bans on so-called "gender-affirming medical care" for minors.
