Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Chairman, I will start by stating the obvious fact that it seems astonishing to even have to state: Men and women are biologically different and just by a boy calling himself a girl, it doesn't make it so.

It is amazing but telling that the same people who scolded us about following the science during COVID have attempted to do anything but follow actual science when it comes to men and boys in women's sports.

Boys shouldn't be dunking on girls during a high school basketball game or hitting home runs in a girls' softball game. No sane person can argue that men and women do not have different physical characteristics, strength, and speed. There is a reason why girls and boys have different sports teams.

I played sports in high school, and I am sure glad that we weren't as lost as a society as what we seem to be today. What has gone so horribly wrong in our society where those of us who are not okay with our daughters and granddaughters sharing a locker room or a bathroom with boys are the ones that are considered to be crazy by the liberal elites, sports leagues, and woke corporations.
