I am for protecting women. We fought very, very long and very hard to protect women.

A simple answer, yes. Thank you.

While this Committee purports to care about the safety of women, in 2021, when the House voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, 80 percent of the Republican caucus voted against that law.

Whatever happened to 'I am woman, hear me roar'? What--what--have we lost our minds? I am here to protect women, girls. My God, why do I have to apologize for that?

Will the students who are intimidating Jewish students just because they are Jewish be expelled?

I love the lip service. I do, and you academics, I love that.

Unfortunately, the Biden Administration has shown that it is putting leftist policies before women and girls.

A recurring theme from my Republican colleagues and their witnesses is that trans girls are more likely to injure other players during sports.

I strongly encourage all of you to look at the Holocaust Learning Experience set up by MorseLife Health System in Florida.

We deserve answers. People deserve answers, not rhetoric.

I am sure you are going to get canceled. I am sure I am going to get canceled. But you know what that tells me? My ladder's on the right wall and I am doing the right thing.

if my testimony makes me transphobic, then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.

And what harm will come to our female athletes by redefining 'sex' in Title IX to include gender identity?

My bill prohibits any school or university that receives Federal funding from allowing biological males from participating in women's sports.

I must say I am surprised to hear that my Republican colleagues care so much about protecting the, quote, 'safety, privacy, and opportunities of women,' since their voting record and priorities this Congress shows the opposite.

Title IX was designed to give female athletes equality, fairness.

The truth is, is that by allowing biological males to compete in women's sports is fundamentally unfair.

Simply put, this bill will stop the pattern of unremarkable male athletes that switch to women's sports and suddenly come in first place.

Quite simply, men do not belong in women's sports.

If the Biden Administration is successful, it will mean that more women will lose out on academic and athletic opportunities that should have been afforded to them under Title IX.

So, I just want to be clear, there is not a hidden agenda. It is actually to protect women in women's sports.

I want to thank you for your testimony. I know it is heartfelt, and I appreciate it. It means a lot to me, as a mother, as an athlete, as a coach, as a woman.

If schools violate the provision of this bill, they lose access to all Federal funding.

What we need, we have great opportunities in this country for people to be successful if they want to work hard.

When President George W. Bush called on America not to take out their anger about the tragedy of 911 on their Muslim neighbors, people listened.
