‘This is 2019, and we are not afraid of the boogie man that you’re trying to create’ — Watch Rep Katie Hill defend the Equality Act and shut down the opposition Rep Greg Steube. » Subscribe to NowThis:
This rep tried to justify why LGBTQ+ people can’t have equal rights. Rep. Katie Hill had the best rebuttal.
Rep. Greg Steube: Requiring that biological females face competition from biological males will mean the end of women’s sports in any meaningful sense.
Rep. Greg Steube: It is instead a violation of women’s rights to engage in competitive sports on an even playing field and to enjoy the protection of their own spaces reserved for biological females.
Rep. Katie Hill: I can't believe that we're standing here and having a man tell me what kind of protections I need in sports. This is fear mongering about trans women playing in sports. Are you kidding me? [...] I can tell you no trans person is trying to game the system to participate in sports.
Rep. Katie Hill: This is not a new concept. Trans people have participated in sports for years. [...] This is 2019 and we are not afraid of the boogie man that you're trying to create. We are ready to move forward and tell all of our constituents, all of our communities, all of Americans that they matter equally. You, my colleagues, are on the wrong side of history and we will be waiting for you on the other side when we [...] pass H.R. 5.
