Nebraska governor Jim Pillen, a Republican not noted as a women's rights supporter, yesterday issued an executive order "defining" males and females and the attributes thereof. The anti-transgender political grandstanding offers fusty explanations of the sexes–men are "bigger, stronger and faster" on average–in pursuit of Rowling-esque calls for sexual segregation (and even echoing her ostensibly feminist rationales) and not a lot else.
The order declares that, in matters of the state, the "biological differences between the sexes are enduring" and that the "sex" of a person will be defined by the gender designated at birth. In addition to specifically noting how boy, girl, man, and woman will be defined, the order also includes biological descriptions. …
"It is common sense that men do not belong in women's only spaces," Pillen said in the news release. "As Governor, it is my duty to protect our kids and women's athletics, which means providing single-sex spaces for women's sports, bathrooms, and changing rooms."
The reaction, at least from Democrats, is to point out that if it were enforced, the likely outcome would be Nebraska losing federal funding for womens' shelters.
"Today Governor Pillen, famous women's rights supporter, signed this offensive and ridiculous proclamation establishing a "Women's Bill of Rights." He should try saying this stuff to my face then we would see who's got what biological advantage," wrote State Senator Megan Hunt on Twitter.

All we need to do is find a woman bigger, faster, and stronger than him, and then he's officially a woman by his own legislation.
And women are worthless stay-at-home breed mares to them so I guess they should get a new Governor.
PS I'd pay good money to watch Britney Griner kick his ass.
We tried. By God we tried.
Discount Lex luthor termed out and it was a three way race for the Republican nomination.
Democrats will never win the state again so it was a game of who's the least awful Republican?
Residents of Omaha and the surrounding area flocked to change their registration to Republican to vote in the primary. A moderate who wasn't fucking insane was running and we tried our hardest to get him the seat. The other two were so similar we thought they'd split the crazy vote and the moderates would win out.
He came in 3rd, by a wide margin.
But why not does that larger woman simply eat the Governor?
Is there an unexpected Futurama lemmy community somewhere? That was solid, lol
Futurama is always expected
The internet needs to flood his inbox with challenges from women that would destroy him at arm wrestling.
horny subtext
don't play into the game this is all part of the long con to get strong dommy women to slide into his dms
Something about him makes me think he'd be into that.
This will make it so the state can only have the "One True Man of Nebraska"
I’m not agreeing with this legislation but it does say “bigger, stronger, faster on average”
That's true. But "on average" in circumstances like this is meaningless; "on average," a person is male. But I think we can agree that some women do exist.
Whoops thanks!
But I think we can agree that some women do exist.
It’s not meaningless, we have a quantifiable metric and we average it. Men are stronger than women on average
It's not meaningless, but not meaningful enough for a legislative definition of sex. The law must be consistently applicable to people who aren't "average".
It's meaningless in terms of legislation and enforcement.

We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic woman. Better than she was before
