Sanity, at long last, is making a comeback!
Hot on the heels of Donald Trump's mandate-making win on November 5, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) has signed a bill into law that requires K-12 students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their biological sex. Heck yeah!
S.B. 104 requires academic institutions to set separate bathrooms, locker rooms and overnight accommodations based on students’ “biological sex,” meaning the sex listed on a student’s birth certificate. The bill, which also prohibits the construction of any all-gendered restrooms in schools, will go into effect in 90 days.
This is a big, big win for children, sane parents and common sense, and a massive loss for the wine-moms and assorted perverts who think boys should be welcome in the girls' restrooms and vice versa. Let's face it, 2024 just keeps on delivering.
Former University of Kentucky swim star Riley Gaines, who has been an outspoken advocate of protecting girls' sports, took to X/Twitter to celebrate.

One of the bill's main sponsors, Sen. Andrew Brenner (R-DE), argued that the main goal was to protect girls and women while also allowing for certain kinds of accommodations to be made, such as single-use bathrooms and locker rooms. Brenner said that the bill "addressed the concern from many Ohio parents about their local schools allowing the opposite sex into shared restrooms or locker rooms. I support protecting women, and our daughters, by simply providing the specific facilities reserved for them.”
Imagine that - listening to the concerns of parents and acting on them.
As our own Sister Toldjah likes to say, the "sad trombones" are, naturally, now playing on the left, and the usual suspects are positively outraged that boy parts will no longer be found in the girls' bathrooms of Ohio.
“S.B. 104 is a cruel invasion of students’ rights to privacy, which could result in unwarranted governmental disclosures of private, personal information,” said Jocelyn Rosnick, ACLU of Ohio policy director. “All Ohioans deserve to access the facilities they need, in alignment with their gender identity, without fear of harassment or bullying.”
Dwayne Steward, executive director of Equality Ohio, said Wednesday S.B. 104 puts “vulnerable trans kids at risk for abuse and harassment,” and that this legislation has been built off of “propaganda about trans communities.”
You can expect the topic of men intruding on women-only spaces to continue to be hotly debated. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has made the issue a national one by introducing bills to ban men from women's restrooms on Capitol Hill and on all federal property nationwide. Despite the fierce backlash and threats from the left, Mace is refusing to back down and will only be emboldened by the complete Republican takeover of Washington, D.C., that's about to happen.
One Ohio state senator who voted for the bill just signed by Gov. DeWine, Sen. Niraj Antani (R-Miamisburg), summed things up nicely: “I voted to protect our school children across Ohio by ensuring biological males do not use the same restroom with girls, This is common sense policy that will ensure the safety and security of our school children. No young girl should be forced to go into the same restroom with a biological male.”
