This commonsense bill would ensure that only biological girls are able to compete in women\u2019s sports.\n\nRep. Hageman stated, \u201cMen and women are biologically different \u2013 and just by a boy calling himself a girl doesn\u2019t make it so. It\u2019s amazing that the same people who scolded us about \u201cfollowing the science\u201d on Covid have attempted to do anything but follow ACTUAL science when it comes to men in women\u2019s sports.\n\n\u201cBoys shouldn\u2019t be dunking on girls during a high school basketball game or hitting home runs in a girls\u2019 softball game. No sane person can argue that men and women do not have different physical characteristics, strength, and speed \u2013 there is a reason why girls and boys have different sports teams. I played girls sports, and I am sure glad that we weren\u2019t as lost as a society then as we seem to be now.\n\n\u201cWhat has gone so horribly wrong in our society where those of us that aren\u2019t ok with our daughters sharing a locker room with a boy that calls himself a girl are looked at as the crazy ones by liberal elites, sports leagues, and woke corporations?\n\n\u201cThe erasure of women and girls from sports \u2013 and from broader society \u2013 must stop. Women must stand up to it. Parents must stand up to it. Governments must stand up to it. The state of Wyoming rightly passed legislation to keep boys out of girls\u2019 sports and this Congress has now done the same.\u201d\n\nView Congresswoman Hageman\u2019s floor speech here.\n\nContact: Chris Berardi, Senior Advisor/Communications Director", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:44:29Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/harriet-hageman-votes-keep-boys-out-girls-sports"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9761489927768707, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
