| Before anything else, what is the website people should go to? | |
| So they can visit adflegal.org backslash Dennis. | |
| That's adflegal.org backslash Dennis. | |
| And so they can learn more about Sherry's case with the Downtown Hope Center in Anchorage or what they can do to help stand against the Equality Act so that what happened to Sherry does not happen to other women's shelters across the country. | |
| Well, you're taking it on for many reasons, and another one is sports. | |
| This is the giveaway to the meanness at the heart of the so-called compassion movement on behalf of the transgendered. | |
| The meanness, the transgendered, the number of people who change sex is extremely small. | |
| The number of women in athletics is extremely large. | |
| And they have decided that women's athletics don't matter. | |
| Have you taken on a case with regard to women's athletics already? | |
| Yes. | |
| In fact, we've got two of them. | |
| One of them is representing four incredibly talented female athletes in Connecticut. | |
| And in Connecticut, their policy is a guy, if he identifies as a girl, can start competing on the girls' team. | |
| And what happened was two guys in Connecticut, two biological males, began competing and within just a matter of months, dominating women's track and field, not just in Connecticut, but throughout New England. | |
| And as a result, there was about 15 championships that these two males captured, 16 records that had been held by women that these two males took and broke. | |
| And about 80 instances where a girl lost a spot on the podium or lost the chance to advance to the next round of competition because two guys in Connecticut were allowed to compete on the female team. | |
| And that just shows, like you said, it only takes one or two males to completely upend and destroy fairness in women's sports as we know it. | |
| Well, there's no reason for women's sports if biological men can compete with them. | |
| I have read so much on the other side They never grapple with, is it fair to the women? | |
| All they talk about is compassion for the transgender, which is fine. | |
| I do have compassion for the transgender. | |
| It can't be fun to be at war with your biology. | |
| So, my heart goes out to these people. | |
| But I'm not going to wreck the entire sports world of women. | |
| Well, we're still in the midst of it. | |
| So we actually had a hearing just a couple weeks ago and waiting to see what the judge does there. | |
| And then we've also got another one going on in Idaho, where Idaho took steps to protect women's sports. | |
| Last year they passed a law that simply says biological males, no matter how they identify, can't play on girls' teams. | |
| They can continue to play on guys' teams. | |
| They can even play on co-ed teams. | |
| But to your point, women's sports should be reserved for females. | |
| And that case is now on appeal to the Ninth Circuit. | |
| And we're involved there helping the state of Idaho. | |
| As soon as I heard Idaho, I thought Ninth Circuit. | |
| So what chance do you have there? | |
| Interestingly, the Ninth Circuit has one of the strongest opinions upholding the principle that it is perfectly okay to preserve women's sports for females. | |
| The Ninth Circuit recognized that there are physiological differences, different bone density and muscle strength and all of those things. | |
| And even said, if we allow guys into girls' sports, that's going to be the end of girls' sports as we know it. | |
| So all we're asking the Ninth Circuit to do is follow their precedent that they've already held. | |
| On the permissibility of preserving women's sports for females. | |
| And in the time left, tell us, what is the state of the proposed Democratic Party law on equality? | |
| So the Equality Act, it's passed the House, which was not unexpected. | |
| It has passed the House before, and the battle is really going to be in the Senate. | |
| We know right now that there's still the filibuster. | |
| Hopefully that will hold, because as long as it does, I think there's a lot of people and a growing number of people recognizing the harms of the Equality Act to women's sports, to shelters. | |
| But I think it's going to be very important for us to continue to speak out, to contact senators and let them know to vote against the Equality Act. | |
| All right, give us your website one more time. | |
| It's adflegal.org backslash Dennis, adflegal.org backslash Dennis. | |
| Thank you both. | |
| It's very important work that you're doing. | |
| Or go to our website where we have it. |
