Ed Emery discusses proposed constitutional amendment requiring children to play on sports teams matching birth gender

As Sen. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, notes in his latest podcast, it is hard to believe we have reached the point where the constitutional amendment requiring children to play on the sports team matching the gender with which they were born.

The resolution, Emery said, simply breaks down to "boys will play on boys' teams and girls will play on girls' teams.

"You would have thought that seems normal, but in this age of gender dysphoria that has invaded the country, many of the things we used to consider mental illness and tried to change a person's thinking, but today, we have kind of normalized it."








Emery said the resolution had a large amount of opponents during its hearing this week in the Senate's Education Committee, "mostly parents whose children are going through struggles."

Emery expressed sympathy for the parents and the children, noting that they were "hurting."

When he had spoken with those parents, Emery said, he wasn't sure what they were talking about, if it was "a young man who thought he was a girl, or a young girl who thought she was a man."

Emery said was concerned as he heard the stories of parents providing drugs to their children "trying to make them different than God has created them."
