 Blakeman's effort to ban transgender women and girls from playing on female-only sports teams has drawn backlash since his first try by executive order. That got reversed by a state judge. Blakeman acknowledged the controversy at the bill-signing ceremony Monday morning. We've heard from a lot of people who have a different point of view, and that's fair. We can agree to disagree. For us, it's a matter of common sense, it's a matter of fairness, and it's a matter of integrity.
