Former Lia Thomas Code shares abuse ‘,’ Push Georgia legislators to pass the Trans athlete in women’s sports bans

A Georgia State Senate Committee adopted the law on fair and secure athletic options on Thursday after testimony from several female athletes who have competed against and shared closet space with transking athletes.

The bill requires athletes to participate in teams that are in line with their biological sex at birth. If signed in the law, Georgia would become the 26th state in the United States to have a law in place to prevent or limit transnry athletes from competing in women’s sports.

Georgia has been a first -class limit for this issue after the state hosted the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championships, which included transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas.

Two of Thomas’ former opponents testified at Thursday’s state congressional hearing.

Former North Carolina State Women’s swimmer Kylee Alons, a 31-time Allamerican and two-time NCAA champion, talked about the experience that competed courage and shared a dressing room with Thomas.

“We were all just guinea pigs for a huge social experiment formed by NCAA about how much abuse and obviously ignoring women who would be forced to silence,” Alons said.

Alons told the feelings she felt that they shared competitive areas with Thomas and how much sadness she felt to see women are losing the chances of competing fairly at the event. Alons even said she would cry and leave the event after watching Thomas win the 500 -meter freestyle.

“It all felt so off and wrong,” she said.

Things became much more difficult for Lyons after she experienced sharing a dressing room with Thomas.

“I go to the dressing room that day only to see Thomas and realize that there is no escape from this nightmare wherever I go. I had no idea he would have permission has a man in our dressing room,” said Lyons

“I’m immediately on the edge every time I go into the dressing room afterwards, knowing at any time a man can go into me that changes.

Lyons added that she felt so uncomfortable that she resorts to giving up the dressing room completely and instead changed in a storage cabinet behind the bleaching machines.

Former University of Kentucky Swims Kaitlynn Wheeler joined Lyons to tell the experience of sharing a dressing room with Thomas.

“Young women, teenage girls were forced to dress up next to a fully intact biological man who exposed to us while at the same time being fully exposed,” Wheeler said. “We were never asked. We never got a choice or other option. We just expected to be in order with it, to sky down our discomfort, our embarrassment, our fears because standing up for ourselves would mean to be labeled as intolerant or hateful or large.

Wheeler and Lyons are plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit against NCAA led by the former swimmer and 2022 NCAA Championship -Competition Riley Gaines over NCAA’s Gender People’s Policy.

Wheeler and Lyons shared their experiences with a message calling on state senators during the consultation to adopt the law on fair and secure athletic opportunities.

The bill withdrew resistance from parents, doctors and others. Dr. Jodi Greenwald, a Roswell Child Physician, told the panel that transking girls are not predators and warned that transking young people are more in danger of suicide.

The bill passed a vote of 8-3 after a nearly two hour consultation.

Lt. Gov. Bill Jones called the vote an important step towards one of his critical goals for the session.

“Biological men do not belong in women’s sports, period,” Jones said.

“This is common sense to everyone except the most radical liberals in Georgia. The Senate has always led the way to protect women’s sports, and with the Senate’s Bill 1 we will continue to be on the right side of this common question.

“I will never hover in the fight to protect our sisters and our daughters attending equally foot in Georgia Sports. I look forward to Senate Bill 1 being law and protection of women’s sports that will become a reality for all female athletes in Georgia. “

A federal ban on transgender Inclusion in girls and women’s sports also moves through Congress.

The House of Representatives Passed Protection of women and girls in the Sports Act 14 January 14, which would reduce federal funding to any public educational institution that allows transnry athletes to compete against girls and women in sports.

Each Republican American representative voted for the bill. Only two Democrats, Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, both of Texas, voted to pass it. The remaining 206 house Democrats opposed it. Rep. Don Davis, DN.C., voted “Present.”

A recent New York Times/Ipsos Survey Found the vast majority of Americans, including a majority of Democrats, do not think transnry athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Of the 2,128 people who were examined, 79% biological men who identify themselves as women said should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.

Of the 1,025 people who identified themselves as Democrats or inclined Democrat, 67%said transkon athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
