Committee on Health, Aging and Long-Term Care Public Hearing
Yesterday, the Health Committee held a public hearing to discuss AB 465. This legislation prohibits gender transition medical intervention for those under 18 years of age. Specifically, this prohibits health care providers from engaging in or making a referral for puberty suppressants, cross-sex hormones, or surgery to change the minor’s body to reflect a different biological sex.
As a small government legislator, I don’t really care if adults want to cut off parts and sterilize themselves. But children often have foolish ideas, and we should not be allowing children to permanently disfigure and sterilize themselves until they are 18. Studies show that over 90% of children questioning their gender will resolve themselves to their birth sex by adulthood if not prompted and urged to undergo permanent life-altering procedures. And people who perform these procedures on naïve children are robbing those children of their own future and families.
AB 377 and AB 378
There were two bills to protect women and women’s sports heard in committees this week. One for high school girls’ sports and the second for college level
Yesterday, the Education Committee held a public hearing to discuss AB 377, the first piece of legislation in the Save Women’s Sports Act. This legislation would require each school board, independent charter school, and private school participating in a parental choice program (educational institution) that operates or sponsors an interscholastic, intramural, or club athletic team or sport to designate the athletic team or sport as falling into one of three categories: female, male, or co-ed.
Also yesterday, the Colleges and Universities Committee held a public hearing to discuss a couple of bills. The one I want to discuss is AB 378. This bill, which is also part of the Save Women’s Sports Act, would require the University of Wisconsin and technical colleges to designate teams based on one of three categories. The three categories are: 1) participants who are males or men; 2) participants who are females or women; and 3) coeds or participants of both sexes.
These bills protect female student athletes from mediocre males invading their private spaces and stealing their opportunities. I’m sure we all have a daughter, sister, niece, or friend whom we care about and want to see succeed in every area of their lives. Sports are a great tool to learn leadership and the value of hard work towards a goal. But mediocre male athletes are invading women’s sports by pretending they are girls and stealing their victories, their positions, and their scholarships. And the politically correct on the left would simply tell these ladies to just shut up and put up with being sidelined by males.
It is time to stop this madness. It is time to protect our young ladies.
