Earlier this week, the Senate Education Committee heard testimony on HB1205, which would require schools to designate athletics by sex and prohibit biological males from participating in female athletics. This bill further creates various causes of action based on violations of its provisions.
There was a great deal of testimony from both sides of this issue, but one thing we can see is, this issue has become partisan. Democrats are standing against girls and women, and Republicans are standing with them. It’s as if Democrats forget the history of the women’s movement.
WMUR covered the hearing well here. You will see how Republicans and myself speak to some of the concerns for girls who are now injured by the males who identify as females. Representative Hope Damon (D), at the end, says that we need to learn to lose. Who says that in 2024? Women are sick of being told to sit down and shut up.
Title IX was established to give girls some of the same opportunities to compete and win scholarships and awards. All of that is under attack when biological males are allowed to compete in women’s sports.
You can see from this video how girls in one Massachusetts school were thrown to the ground by a transgender athlete during a basketball game.
Senator Suzanne Prentiss (D) doesn’t seem to understand that the injuries these girls are sustaining are far worse when they come from a biological male.
Other states are moving to pass legislation that protects girls and women, and their sports.
This would be a good time to send an email to ALL of The New Hampshire Senators and ask them to protect women’s sports and their privacy in the locker room and restrooms. Senators New Hampshire <[email protected]>

It’s unfortunate that this has become partisan, with the Democrats standing against fairness and the rights of women and girls in New Hampshire. It’s up to us to remind them that they need to do the right thing.
