Female student athletes from across the state came to Augusta to testify in favor of bills to protect women’s sports and spaces. Most Mainers recognize these bills are commonsense policy that needs to be passed.
Dozens of brave girls came to testify in front of the Judiciary Committee. They shared their stories of how they’ve been negatively impacted by Maine’s current practice that allows biological men to compete in girls’ sports and invade women’s spaces.
“The vast majority of Mainers believe the rights of biological girls and women must be upheld. It’s up to us as legislators to protect these girls,” said Sen. Sue Bernard, R-Aroostook. “These bills will ensure privacy, safety and fairness for all Maine girls and re-affirm the protections that have been afforded to women since the passage of Title IX in 1972.”
