#GirlsRule! Biology, science, and common sense all be damned, apparently.
A Pennsylvania state senator, who somehow found herself elected to one of the highest state offices despite clearly having the intellectual acuity of a fruitfly, actually stated during a hearing this week that female athletes are just as physically capable as males, and that women are not at any athletic disadvantage when forced to compete against gender-deluded men.
Which is like saying water isn’t wet and that cats can fly.
Doing her best circus clown impression Wednesday, state Sen. Lindsey Williams declared that “female bodies are just as strong, fast, and capable as male bodies.”

She’s sticking to some nonsensical fantasy that the body of a girl is the same as one of a boy.
This isn’t reality.

She went on to slam advocates of protecting women’s sports as bigots who are simply picking on the “maybe 160” trans-identifying athletes in the United States, calling the concern over the integrity of women’s sports a “completely made-up issue.”

And here we were all thinking Joe Biden was the most brain-addled fool on the planet.
First of all, let's deal with the issue of how many "trans" athletes are currently competing in sports. According to UCLA's pro-LGBTQ Williams Institute, roughly 300,100 American kids ages 13-17 "identify" as transgender. Of those, the Institute estimates that just shy of 41% participate on at least one sports team.
"Applying that estimate to the population of transgender youth aged 13-17 suggests that as many as 122,000 transgender youth could be participating in high school-level team athletics," the Williams Institute reports.
Now, I didn't earn a degree in math, but I'm pretty sure there's a wide gulf between "maybe 160" and 122,000, indicating that this is far from a "completely made-up issue."
On top of being a moron, Williams is also just plain wrong when it comes to basic biology, as anyone who graduated 8th grade can attest. Female bodies are objectively not the same as males’, nor are they capable of the same athletic feats. Which is why we have entire separate categories for women’s sports.
In the 100-meter dash, for example, the Olympic world record for the women’s category is 10.61 seconds. Which is really, really fast.
In the men’s? It's 9.63 seconds - nearly a full second faster.
Lucy Underdown currently holds the record for women’s deadlift after hauling up a whopping 717 pounds in 2024. It’s an absolutely phenomenal achievement, and she was highly celebrated for it.
But her chart-topping win still fell nearly 400 pounds shy of the men’s record, which was set by Iceland’s Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson in 2020 at a mind-boggling 1,105 pounds.
The women’s 400m freestyle swim record currently sits at an impressive 3 minutes, 55.38 seconds.
The men’s is 15 seconds faster, at 3:40.07.
The fact that men, with their increased testosterone, measurably different bone structure, and higher muscle mass, are naturally stronger and faster than women isn’t a knock on women. It’s simply a fact, and one that proves why athletically talented, hardworking women deserve to compete fairly against other women, and not biological males who have an unsurmountable advantage over them.
An advantage that simply exists, whether ideologically ostriches like Williams here want to acknowledge it or not.
