      From: maximusheadroom@gmx.com              Blue State Governor Refuses To Answer When Asked About Boys Competing Against       His Daughter              The governor immediately said he was ready for the next question.              By Lynden Blake       Jan 14, 2026 DailyWire.com              Washington state's Governor Bob Ferguson refused to answer a reporter's       question       when asked about his own daughter competing against a man during a recent       legislative session.              "Would you support a biological boy competing against your own child?" Brandi       Kruse asked the governor.               I asked Washington @GovBobFerguson about boys in girls' sports. He accused me       of being "obsessed with trans kids" and refused to answer the question. I'm not       obsessed with trans kids. I'm obsessed with truth. pic.twitter.com/X1pxhRxsjf               - Brandi Kruse (@BrandiKruse) January 10, 2026              "I understand your obsession with trans kids," Ferguson replied.              According to Kruse, Ferguson has been open about his children and his daughter       attending a private school. The governor, however, was visibly annoyed with the       question and continued to dodge it.              "Look, we live in a world right now where trans kids are going through a lot.       So       you know, I want to support trans kids. We have a federal government that       essentially wants to erase that community. I'm diametrically opposed to that,"       Ferguson said.              The governor immediately said he was ready for the next question.              Ferguson often posts about his kids on social media. Kruse raised the question       to the governor because his daughter is a softball player who recently signed       to       play at the next level at Carleton College.              According to Kruse, Ferguson's daughter attends a private school and hasn't had       to deal with men infiltrating the girls' sports teams. The same cannot be said       for other girls in the state.              Veronica Garcia is a biological male who won the 2025 girls' 400-meter state       championship for East Valley High School in Spokane, Washington.              Ahnaleigh Wilson spoke out about losing to a biological male in the 2024       Cashmere Junior Olympics regional track meet 1600-meter race in Washington       state.              According to Washington state's regulations, students can participate in any       school sport that matches their gender identity.              This week, for the first time ever, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on       two cases involving transgender athletes. Tuesday, the nation's highest court       heard Little v Hecox and West Virginia v B.P.J.              During the oral arguments, the lawyer representing the trans-identifying       athlete       from Idaho couldn't define biological sex.              "We do not have a definition for the court, and we don't take issue with the .       we're not disputing the definition here," Kathleen Hartnett told the court.       "What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice is to exclude birth       sex males categorically from women's teams, and that there's a subset of those       birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to do so, according to the state's       own interest."              The Court seems ready to side with the states that have banned men from women's       sports, which would uphold laws in 27 states.              https://www.dailywire.com/news/blue-state-governor-refuses-to-an       wer-when-asked-about-boys-competing-against-his-daughter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
