“I feel there are some myths that might be created that people change their gender identity just to change sports teams,” said Jennifer Frizzell policy director for the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation as she testified against House Bill 1251 before the NH House Education Committee January 14.
HB 1251 would stop men from competing against women at the high school and college level.
How would people get the idea that men might pretend to be women to steal their spots on the podium, their scholarships, and their chances to compete for spots on elite college teams?
Maybe these gender ideology skeptics heard about Connecticut High School runner Selina Soule, who lost her chance to compete in the New England regional championships in front of college scouts after two muscular young men took first and second place in a track meet. One of the gentlemen who displaced Selina previously competed against other male athletes in the winter 2018 season, but failed to advance in boys’ indoor track events.
Or maybe word got around about Women’s World Cycling Champion Rachel McKinnon, a 200-pound six-foot-tall powerlifter. Rachel – who recently changed his name to Veronica Ivy – is a professor of ethics who wrote a book about lying: titled The Norms of Assertion: Truth, Lies and Warrant, in which he argues “that in some special contexts, we can lie.”
Or maybe New Hampshire residents are suspicious about Franklin Pierce University senior CeCe Telfer. He competed as a mediocre male runner for three years, but after he decided to be a woman his senior year, he won the 400-meter hurdles national title at the 2019 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championship.
It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Frizzell, who was a lobbyist for Planned Parenthood – an organization that dismembers children in their mothers’ wombs – doesn’t realize that not everyone has a conscience.
But even if there were a a blood test that measured sincerity or a brain scan that measured honesty, it would still be wrong to allow men to compete against women because on the whole, men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women.
Liberals love to dismiss embarrassing truths as myths, but what women’s rights advocate ever believed that men wouldn’t lie and cheat to take advantage of women?
