"There are important biological differences between boys and girls, men and women. These biological differences give boys and men a 10-60% advantage in sports performance compared to girls and women. Research indicates that these differences in performance are not erased due to male-to-female hormone use." (Dr. Greg Brown, Professor of Exercise Science, University of Nebraska-Kearney) A Duke University Study confirms Dr.
Brown's testimony. Beth Stelzer, the Founder of Save Women’s Sports, traveled to Raleigh to personally speak at the hearing. She stated: “Save Women’s Sports Foundation commends North Carolina for stepping up to protect female athletes. It is important to understand that this bill is not a ban. It is simply designed to protect athletic opportunities for females--the original intent of Title IX. The Save Women’s Sports Act will guarantee fair play for females and we are glad to return to North Carolina and extend continued support for the bill.” (Beth Stelzer, Founder Save Women's Sports)
Our nonpartisan organization is
honored to stand beside other organizations such as the Save Women’s
Sports Foundation to promote this legislation. This issue has united
women from all walks of life across the political spectrum who believe
in fairness for female athletes. 76% of North Carolinians believe that
allowing biological men to compete against women is unfair—and we ask
the North Carolina General Assembly to do the right thing for female
athletes of today and the generations to come”.
