The Equality Act, one of the Democrats’ most controversial initiatives, passed the House by a 224-206 vote. It’s now headed to the Senate, where some of the people who will be most affected by it won’t be able to testify in hearings on the bill.
As CNS News notes, the bill would modify the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include protections for “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” This includes a whole raft of controversies with it, but the biggest may be what it does to women’s sports.
“In practice this would mean, among other things, that transgender ‘females’ (biological males) would be allowed to play on girls’ sports teams and use their bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers,” CNS reported.
Last Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on the Equality Act. Three of the highest-profile individuals who could speak on the girls’ sports issue — Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith and Selina Soule, three Connecticut high school athletes who sued after biological boys were allowed to compete in girls’ track and field events — were blocked from testifying by Democrats even though Republicans had invited them to share their testimony, according to the Washington Examiner.
Same thing with Christina Mitchell, Chelsea’s mother. She’d been invited by the GOP and denied a speaking slot by Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat.
...
The women were still allowed to submit written testimony, however.
Chelsea Mitchell was a former track athlete at Canton High School in Connecticut who said her state’s policy allowing biological males to compete in girls’ track and field events created an uneven playing field.

Destroying the country as we watch!
Confusing , tedious and ridiculous.
I remember the quaint old days when athletes were banned for taking steroids because it gave them an unfair advantage over other athletes. How is DNA different than taking steroids?
This would also legalize polygamy.
The Dems hatred and viciousness is out in the open. Hatred for everything good and decent.
And pedophilia.
Dems hate themselves. They have no drive, no integrity, no beauty and no brains. They are the losers of society. The dregs.
If it wasn’t for woman the Democrat party would be gone. They voted for Democrats let them live with the consequences.
It’s worse than that actually
Honestly I believe the leaders of the leftist movement are stone cold Marxist killers or Satanists or the equivalent
Too bad about Title IX. LOL!
Maybe, in the first couple of steps out of the blocks, charge over into the ‘trans’ (fake) female and collide, upsetting ‘her’.
Maybe the trans is delayed enough not to place.
And a real girl wins.
The collider was a sacrifice.
I just wonder how that would be treated?
Durbin called my combat soldier son a “Nazi” for liberating Iraq. He’s one of America’s worst enemies in the Senate.
I’d love to see legitimate female athletes picket his home and his congressional office, accusing him of “gender favoritism/pandering”, “gender discrimination”, and endangering the well-being/lives of legitimate female athletes.
He’s one of Obama’s in-house “Deep State Marxists”, an existential threat to America.
Great idea! You must have some latent democrat in you. /s.
You diabolical thinker. Love it.
