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. …”

Follow the money, and you may find that this Senator will somehow personally benefit if boys remain permitted to invade and eventually dominate girl’s sport teams.
She’s got a horse in this race somewhere.
There are people who BELIEVE Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are real.
BELIEVING they are real doesn't make it an actuality.
This is so anti-reality it is ludicrous. My dad’s Ph.D. was in kinesiology (study of human motion, his specialty was in sports biomechanics), and we used to laugh at the ideologues who seriously believe this. And they call us anti-science??
If this is true, why do we have to have an WNBA.? Why do no women play football? This clown needs to knock off the smoke.
That’s why MEN are smashing WOMEN’S athletic records by 10% every day.
That’s why so many WOMEN are playing in MEN’S tough sports and winning. NOT.
The wishful thinking myth in the 1972 and later phase of feminism was that males and females are equal physically.
Now it is proven upper body and musculature is much heavier in males (and women are ready for pregnancy and childbirth as to their hips).
Even when the trans ones pretend to be female the musculature is still left over from the male development from adolescence, leaving them stronger to defeat females.
Merely saying you believe, is vastly different from believing.
Maybe she should watch the video of a high school boys soccer team crush the women’s World Cup team.
They’re projecting their own naivety onto us.
Exactly.
She’s obviously funded by Schwartz Gyorgy.
Yeah, I remember when all those females were scrambling up the cliffs at Normandy to save Europe’s bacon.
This clown should not be a lawmaker, he needs to be impeached yesterday. He is dangerous.
Self-outed as a total retard.
And here I was thinking he was simply mentally challenged.
"Annika Sörenstam", you effing Democrat moron.
He is a she, and should be challenged to a 3 round boxing match with a male her same size and weight!
Might literally knock some sense into her!
He is a she. A real she. And built for comfort, not for speed.
