Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MAST. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of protecting women and girls in sports, and protect them from what? Protect them from this, very simply: Cheating. It is cheating.

This is why we love sports so much. It is because of the fairness element of it. It is why we don't allow deflated footballs or why we don't allow corked bats or Vaseline on a baseball. The list goes on and on. It is why we have referees and umpires and line judges, because we want it to be fair. That is one of the great things about sports.

If we are going to allow men into women's sports, why have any laws or rules about doping or steroids whatsoever? Why should any sports regulate doping or steroids if you are going to let men into women sports? It makes no sense at all. I beg that question. Anybody have an answer?

I don't hear an answer. I will beg this other last question for a moment while I have a minute. We are not talking about real women competing in women's sports; we are talking about real boys, real men competing in women's sports. I will leave it at that.
