Hageman | H001096 | hageman.house.gov | hageman | https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted in favor of H.R. 734 – the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. This commonsense bill would ensure that only biological girls are able to compete in women’s sports. Rep. Hageman stated, “Men and women are biologically different – and just by a boy calling himself a girl doesn’t make it so. It’s amazing that the same people who scolded us about “following the science” on Covid have attempted to do anything but follow ACTUAL science when it comes to men 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 girls sports, and I am sure glad that we weren’t as lost as a society then as we seem to be now. “What has gone so horribly wrong in our society where those of us that aren’t 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? “The erasure of women and girls from sports – and from broader society – 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’ sports and this Congress has now done the same.” View Congresswoman Hageman’s floor speech here.
