Reclaiming my time. So it is curious to me that the gentlewoman has not included even the word ``transgender.'' She uses the word ``biological male,'' and the study that she has put forward studies the harm done to cisgender girls by having them compete with biological males. It does not even provide the guidance to the studiers to study what may happen with cisgender girls and the competition with transgender girls. So the results of this study are not going to even determine what the challenges may be. Look, the mere fact that the author of this amendment is asking to study this shows that there is no evidence that there is any harm here. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
