New Hampshire House lawmakers voted Thursday to bar transgender women and girls from participating on female school sports teams, positioning the state to be the first in the Northeast to adopt such a measure.

New Hampshire's Republican-controlled House approved House Bill 1205 Thursday in a largely party-line 189-182 vote. The bill, titled the Fairness in Women's Sports Act, now heads to the state's GOP-led Senate, where it is also expected to pass.

Democrats said the measure — and others like it — discriminates against transgender student-athletes by severely restricting their ability to participate in school sports and isolating them from their peers.

"After watching bills like this be voted on week after week it's hard not to despair. But rest assured, the fight is not over," New Hampshire Rep. Alissandra Murray, one of three openly transgender lawmakers in the state, said Thursday on X, formerly Twitter.

"We will stop these bills in the Senate, and if not, we will undo all this harm when Dems are in control next year," Murray said. "We will not let this stand."

New Hampshire's state motto should be amended to read:

"Live free or  die....no, not you. Just me."

We went through this with Governor Kristi Noem and her Executive Orders. Several intercollegiate sports organizations said the orders violate their inclusion policies. Therefore, they will no longer hold any competitions in South Dakota. Queen Kristi is all about money and had to change her tune at the potential loss of millions of dollars of sales tax revenue. We don't have income tax here, relying instead on tourism sales tax. A punch in the wallet is what it takes to get people's attention.

Our state motto is: "Under God, the People Rule." In practice, it is: "Under Noem, All are Ruled."
