…..let’s take a stand, right here right now. Let’s do this together. PUT THE LID BACK ON PANDORA’S BOX! What’s next? Unfortunately only the next mental illness epidemic will reveal that…. You all know it is basic biology, there is only 2 sexes, male and female - XY and XX. I grew up admiring the older women who fought for women’s rights…..now I call upon them to help defend those rights.. Our safe places, spaces, sports and existence are being hijacked by bio males because they “say” or “feel” like something that in reality “they will never be”. As parents, as legislators, as adults we have a DUTY a moral OBLIGATION to protect and keep safe our children, our daughters, nieces, granddaughters, cousins et al. I arrived at my daughter’s HS (girl’s) soccer game….as I scanned the field I immediately saw “him”. There was a boy on the field competing against my daughter and her all female team. His build, his legs, his stride, his speed…..and especially his voice gave it away - (the biological differences). As a Mother and a life long athlete, I was pissed. My family did not give consent for my daughter to compete against a bio male. The NHIAA, Plymouth School District and the Bow School District took it upon themselves to increase the risk of harm and injury - (physically, psychologically and emotionally) to my daughter while on the field with this bio male. When joining a girls soccer program our expectations were just that my daughter would be competing against biological girls only. Just like going into the women’s locker room or bathroom, our expectations are that it will be just women, biological women, not males presenting or pretending to be women. . Just one bio male being allowed to compete against girls is one too many. People who have no skin in the game always ask - what is the big deal - how about the girls dignity, self worth, self esteem, awards, records, championships, prize and NIL money, scholarships, trophies for starters…..? Should women and girls once again just take a backseat to men? Should they just be complicit, stay quiet and like it? Or are we going to finally get the government’s support to stand up and say NO to this lunacy once and for all? Some statistics for your review. Males participating in women's sports, including male athletes who call themselves "women," "transwomen," “intersex women," and "nonbinary," have won over 3,130 female athletic competitions (excluding non-tournament team victories.) This is a low estimate that is missing the total team victory count for regular season games and many athletes on our list have yet to be researched. They have finished 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in female competitions at least 5,246 times. They have won over 132 state, 314 national, 56 continental, and 81 women's world championship titles. They have set and reset at least 356 records including 70 school records, 13 state records national records, and 27 world records. They have won over $1,631,217 in prize money from female athletes (1 YE" including the salaries of the professional athletes). They have taken over 494 awards and honors that belong to female athletes. They are winning at the amateur, secondary/high school, collegiate, masters, professional, and Olympic level.
