Hey y'all, I just heard about this new bill that says boys can't play on girls' sports teams at DOD schools. I think this is a good idea because it's important for girls to have their own teams to compete on. But I wonder, how will this affect the boys who want to play on the girls' teams? Will they have other opportunities to play sports? #HRBill5149 #sportsforall

I fully support the idea of protecting girls' sports, but I'm not sure if this bill is the right approach. How will this impact the bigger picture of equality in sports for all kids?

I don't think this bill is a good idea. It just doesn't seem fair to me. I don't see how it will help anyone. It's just not right.
