Pennsylvania Democrat state senator Lindsey Williams gave controversial testimony at the state capitol on Wednesday while opposing a bill that would ban trans athletes from girls sports.

Williams, in prepared remarks ahead of the committee vote on the Save Women’s Sports Act, suggested that female athletes are physically comparable to male athletes, and don’t face biological disadvantages.

“I want all girls to know that there are elected officials like me who believe female bodies are just as strong and fast and capable as male bodies,” Williams said. “I want all girls to know there are elected officials like me who would never underestimate your ability to beat a boy at their own sport, because that’s what the premise of this bill assumes, that female bodies are less than male bodies, that girls are at an automatic disadvantage, and can’t possibly compete against boys. Even though girls do it every day.”

Williams also went on to suggest that the issue of biological males participating in girls and women’s sports is a “made-up issue.” […]

Williams’ argument that females are physically “just as capable” as males has been disputed by experts.

Dr. Debra Soh, author of “The End of Gender,” previously discussed the biological differences in an interview with “Fox News Primetime” in 2021. “Individuals who are born male are on average larger, stronger and faster than individuals born female. And even those trans individuals who are on hormone therapy — so they are suppressing testosterone or on estrogen therapy — this does not override that structural foundation. It also does not change muscle mass or muscle strength after a year being on hormones, typically the guideline used for many sports. But I would argue it does not override the advantages that someone has from being born male. It’s not fair. …”

Can this woman name one world record held by a woman, that's better than the equivalent men's? (Discus, yes, but the ladies' disc is decently lighter. )

Sure, women might occasionally take first in whatever mixed competition, but it doesn't happen often and they don't win at the very top levels.

Everyone's all amazed that Biles can do some fancy flips? At least five men have done that Yurachenko double thing before she did. Also, Paul Hunt is a better gymnast.

Who was the 200-ranked guy who beat the Williams sister in tennis, back-to-back, while barely trying or something?
