00:00is recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker and Congressman Fox. Thank you so much for your
00:06leadership and friendship. You're a pretty cool lady. Madam Speaker, Title IX of the Civil Rights
00:12Act was passed to protect women from being unfairly denied opportunities in education and
00:16sports. Can you imagine drawing the short stick and having to defend allowing men to compete in
00:23women's sports and take trophies from from young ladies, their chances of even or even careers
00:30away from hard-working female athletes? Of course, the most famous time this happened was when my
00:34friend Riley Gaines tied with a man in her swim meet. I say man in very lowercase letters, but
00:41she didn't get a trophy because they wanted to give it to him instead. And they also had to
00:48suffer the punishment of having to see this guy walk around without any clothes on and his lack
00:55of manhood, I guess. I recently asked Riley about men competing in women's sports in the committee
01:01hearing. She said that some men started competing before they were taking hormones. She also said
01:05something we already knew. Hormone treatments don't alter a man's bone structure. His lung
01:10capacity is higher. That's quick. Can you give me 15 more seconds? Thank you. Or many other attributes
01:18that give men physical advantages over women. She talked about how allowing men into women's sports
01:23endangers their physical safety. We see more instances of this than Democrats in the mainstream
01:28media would have you believe. A high school volleyball player got a concussion. We also saw
01:33a boxer withdraw from a match to protect herself when she learned her opponent was a biological
01:38male. A high school field hockey player had her teeth knocked out. I strongly support protecting
01:43female athletes and rejecting this rule by an administration that has completely abandoned them.
01:48Thank you, Madam Speaker.
