Senator Chris Murphy is not sympathetic to Connecticut parents who are upset that their daughters compete in sports at high school against biological males.

The Connecticut Democrat dismissed concerns about female-identifying men on girls’ teams. She said in a Senate floor speech that they are not that common, or that at least there wasn’t many of them a few decades ago in Florida.

Mr. Murphy stated that there were thirteen transgender high school athletes known in the eight-year period before Florida banned male-born athletes from female scholastic athletics in 2021.

“These 13 girls were waging an apparent war against girls’ sport,” said Mr. Murphy. “That is a small army for waging war.” In this country, you’re more likely than not to die from a falling object if your daughter is competing in sports against a transgender high school girl.

1776 Coalition Sponsored D.C. isn’t singing Kumbaya just yet Quite frankly, we may have won the election, but there’s still a war to be fought and the Left isn’t resting; they’re regrouping. And now that Donald Trump is Time’s Person of the Year, you can be assured their feelings have been exacerbated. They’re not singing Kumbaya in DC just yet. In fact, they’re plotting ways to embarrass him and cause him to fail. Will you join our efforts to fight back and defeat them?. We can’t wait until January 21—that will be too late!

Connecticut has a slightly higher chance of catching a cold.

Lizzy Bidwell is a Conard High School Senior and one of Connecticut’s most prominent track stars. She’s a female-to-male athlete, who according to Athletic.net, holds the top rankings for the state in 2023-24 in outdoor girls’ high jump, triple jump, and long jump.

Bidwell, a junior last year, competed in 20 or more meets during the indoor and outdoors track seasons. She faced off against hundreds of girls in all three events.

Soule v. Connecticut Association of Schools is another case that took place in the state. Four female athletes sued against state rules which allowed Andraya Yearswood and Terry Miller, two male born transgender runners, to compete on girls’ high-school track. They broke 17 girls’ records at state level and won 15 titles in just three years.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing the case that was filed in 2020. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The speech by Mr. Murphy was delivered during a Tuesday debate on a Resolution sponsored by Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha BLACKBURN, which would designate October 10th as American Girls in Sports Day.

She chose Oct. 10, because both the date and month are represented by Roman numerals “XX”, which is also a reference to female chromosomes.

Senate Democrats prevented a vote to be taken on the bill.

Jennifer Sey of XX-XY Athletics, a proponent of single-sex sports for women, replied to Murphy’s remarks by posting a number of girls who had competed against Miller or Yearwood. The total was about 235.

There’s a place in this country for everyone to enjoy sports. “But, @ChrisMurphyCT you can’t change the biological advantage males have,” she said in an interview on X. “And using data selectively from one state doesn’t erase this reality.” Here are some numbers for your state.

Megyn Kel, a conservative podcast host, responded to Murphy’s remarks on X by saying: “You have made me want to run in my new state of CT for office and take your position.”

Transgender athletes are not a danger to female students, according to Mr. Murphy. Advocates of female sports raise concerns about fairness and safety.

He said: “As a father, I personally celebrate those transgender children who spend much of their adolescence shamed or marginalized.

“I am happy that they can experience the joy and camaraderie that come with being a part of a team. That’s fantastic. “I don’t believe that is a danger to my children,” he said.
