Does Rep. Jerry Nadler, D- N. Y., actually live in New York or an additional world?
People truly wondered after a House Judiciary Committee reading where the 76- yr- old declared,” Men do not engage in women’s sports”. Is the government’s dementia deadly or is Nadler living in complete neglect of a worldwide phenomenon that’s plunged , areas into conflict?
Not only are people competing in women’s athletics, they’re winning girls ‘s , titles—a point Riley Gaines was more than happy to point out.
” Ironic he says this on the EXACT two- time celebration of this picture being taken”, Gaines, the former University of Kentucky diver,  , posted alongside a portrait of Lia Thomas , holding a medal he never should have had the opportunity to culture for. ” This 6’4″ man is n’t fooling anyone with any amount of common sense,” Gaines fumed”. I was a communist fireplace that was lit under me two years ago, and it is still being fuelled by Nadler.
Nadler was attempting to suppress truth, but he actually moved to have the debate’s evidence removed from the record. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., had documented numerous instances in which natural guys have robbed girls of their titles and possibilities.
The party  , SheWon , puts the amount at an vision- popping , 292 stolen initial- place , championships. I request that all parties give notice of instances of men abusing women’s sports, as well as the different examples that we have given that include Riley Gaines and other women who have been affected by this, including Will Thomas, when they made the decision to visit the Pennsylvania women’s swimming team, and [ I ask for unanimous consent to be given.
Nadler, the agency’s ranking part, fired up,” I object to concluding these mistruths in the history”. Shocked, Hageman replied how telling it was that he did n’t want the facts included in the record—to which the New Yorker replied,” Men do not compete in women’s sports”.
That’s news to the , 25 , ( going on 26 ) states that have stepped in to stop this madness from overtaking their girls at the pool, track, court, field, and gym. If it was n’t happening, then this was sure a monumental waste of legislative time.
Slack- mouthed, conservatives kept up the pressure, giving a passionate defence of girls and the opportunities, health, and private they’re losing by this immoral introduction of men in women’s sports.
Rep. Victoria Spartz, R- Ind., showed a , video clip of girls , who’ve been actually injured playing against natural boys in tennis, area hockey, and basketball. From Massachusetts to North Carolina, members watched as girls screamed in pain, lost teeth, were carted off with head injuries. One of the victims,  , Payton McNabb, still suffers from blurred vision, partial paralysis, and memory loss.
We have examples, Spartz insisted, of “much stronger guys playing sports against biologically not- as- strong women”.
” Girls actually get hurt by biological males playing sports”, she argued. It’s really unbelievable to me that this is a problem that we ca n’t stand with women and girls on, in my opinion. Spartz continued,” the other side tries really deter the conversation in a different direction and divert it.” Let’s discuss how to best safeguard our female and male partners.
When the talk turned to privacy rights, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D- Calif., joined Nadler’s delusion, claiming that men in girls locker rooms “is not a thing”.
Tell that to the 16 plaintiffs who are suing the NCAA. One of them, Gaines ‘ teammate and champion Southeastern Conference, goes into great detail about how they were put in a “fundamentally unfair situation that no student-athlete, let alone a teenage girl, should ever have to face.”
The collegiate sports body “did not simply make my teammates in the 100 -, 200 -, and 500- yard freestyle races face a biological male swimmer in the pool”, she insisted. ” The NCAA also decided that Lia Thomas, a 6- foot- 4- inch, 22- year- old , transgender , swimmer with a male body and full male genitalia, would be undressing with us”.
She describes that traumatizing incident in the new Washington Examiner op-ed: a .
The moment I realized Thomas would be sharing our most private space, I was engulfed by a whirlwind of emotions—shock, disbelief, horror. Without warning, our locker room’s integrity, which should have been ours alone, was severely damaged.
The presence of male genitalia in a space that was supposed to be safe, where we were vulnerable and exposed, was not just uncomfortable. It savagely harmed our dignity and privacy.
Feeling my stomach churn as whispers turned to silence, I stood there, naked and exposed, not just physically, but also emotionally, grappling with a reality I could n’t comprehend.
The NCAA’s decision to convert our sanctuary into a “unisex” locker room without our consent sounded like a betrayal of the highest order. It was a stark reminder that our voices, our comfort, and our boundaries did not matter.
Despite this, Swalwell called the effort to protect these girls” creepy,” not by forcing innocent teenagers to share a room with a naked man. That’s what really stings, the girls say. No one has their backs. As so many female athletes admitted to Senate Republicans, they feel helpless.
” This is kind of a theme that we got”, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R- La., said of his committee ‘s , investigation on trans inclusion , in sports:” ‘ Why am I even trying? I do n’t have any hope whatsoever.'”
” Our voices as women were completely silenced”, another admitted.
Fortunately for Wheeler and the thousands of American daughters living this nightmare, Republicans , do  , care. Over the objections of Democrats, conservatives on the House Judiciary Committee , passed , the Protection of Women in Olympic &, Amateur Sports Act—authored by Rep. Greg Steube, R- Fla. —on March 21.
Perhaps it will mean the end of the silence of the adults in the room to Wheeler, who watched Thomas stand on top of a podium meant for her sport. ” That silence spoke volumes of the injustice, pain, and anger brewing in the hearts of not just the competitors, but of every woman forced into silence by a system that refuses to listen”.
Until then, she vowed, women will” stand against the erasure of our voices”, whether or not this president or his party stands with them. ” We demand a future where female athletes are respected, where our safety and privacy are not just acknowledged, but fiercely protected”.
