Female Athletes Refused Chance to Testify to Senate Panel About Equality Act

The Epoch Times

The problem, Smith said, is “it’s hard to ignore the physical differences between us and biological males when they are lined up with us in the starting blocks. Mentally we know the outcome before the race even starts." . . .

"Three present and former Connecticut high school biological female athletes were barred from testifying Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Equality Act that recently passed the House of Representatives. The Equality Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

"Christiana Holcomb, the Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel for the women, told The Epoch Times it was the majority Democrats who prevented the athletes from testifying.

“ 'It is disgraceful that Democrats refused to hear from Selina, Chelsea, and Alanna on the harms that they face from a law like the Equality Act. Our clients have lost out on state championships, podium spots, and opportunities to advance in competition because they were forced to compete against biological males,” Holcomb said." . . .
