The senator of the Democratic State of Pennsylvania, Lindsey Williams, gave the controversial testimony in the State Capitol on Wednesday while opposing a bill that would prohibit trans athletes from girls from girls.
Williams, in comments prepared before the vote of the Committee on the Save Women’s Sports law, suggested that female athletes are physically comparable to male athletes and do not face biological disadvantages.
“I want all girls to know that there are elected officials like me who believe that female bodies are as strong, fast and capable as male bodies,” Williams said.
“I want all girls to know that there are elected officials like me who would never underestimate their ability to overcome a child in their own sport, because that is what is the premise of this bill, that female bodies are less than the male bodies, that girls are at automatic disadvantage and cannot compete against boys. Although girls do it every day.”
