Sims: A Missed Opportunity to Protect Women and Girls in New Hampshire

July 20, 2025July 19, 2025 Bronwyn Sims

As a woman, athlete, and gymnastics coach dedicated to girls and women, I am disappointed by Governor Kelly Ayotte’s recent veto of House Bill 148, legislation designed to safeguard the rights, safety, and fairness for female athletes and women throughout New Hampshire.

June 13, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The international federation that manages elite competitions in water sports told Lia’ William’ Thomas he couldn’t compete with the gals in the pool. Thomas appealed on the grounds that women can have a penis (I’m paraphrasing). World Aquatics said, Sorry, Billy, you’ve still got a willy and all the sporty benefits that come with it.

Night Cap: Make PEDs Legal For Female Athletes

May 9, 2024 Ed Mosca

If New Hampshire is going to allow males to participate in sports, then fairness demands that girls be allowed to take PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs… e.g., testosterone). There should be a level playing field … right?

So, Kids, What Did We Learn From This Week’s House Session (3/21/24)?

March 22, 2024March 22, 2024 Judy Aron

We learned that it took from 10 am until 8 pm, with an hour break for lunch, to get through 44 bills, their amendments, and all the various motions. It was a very long day, but we got some good work accomplished. I won’t go through everything, but let’s review some highlights.

When It Comes To Beating Girls at Sports … He Can’t Help it, He Was Born That Way!

February 15, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I wasn’t one of them, but I’ve known my share of sporty kids. Up early, lots of practice, time after school, and traveling to games or meets. It’s a considerable commitment wasted when a boy who isn’t even very good at the sport decides he’s a girl and beats them all handily.

January 7, 2024January 7, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Having spent time with former police, I’ve heard my share of stories about ‘domestics.’ Fights between cohabitating partners if you prefer.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortex, the recently minted millionaire (yes, it’s true) and former bartender, shared some keen-Cortez insight on the rising objections to boys being allowed to participate in girls’ sports. “Exposing,” if you like – not just the problem – but some of the contradictions in her argument.
