I am emailing you today to ask that you override Governor Cooper's veto of the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (HB 574, SB 631) in the NC General Assembly this session. I believe allowing trans women to compete against biological women threatens the safety of biological women. In October 2022, in Cherokee County, North Carolina a trans woman from the Highlands High volleyball team spiked a ball, hitting a female volleyball player on the Hiwassee Dam High School team in the face. The Hiwassee Dam player suffered severe neck and head injuries, vision problems, a concussion and long-term concussion symptoms. The County School Board directed that all future games in the county against Highlands High be cancelled due to safety concerns. Allowing trans women to compete in female sports favors activists over athletes and imperils the integrity of female sports. Research is clear that biological males have bigger muscles, stronger bones, tougher ligaments greater lung capacity and, overall, physiologically superior to biological females. The athletic advantage of biological men over women varies from around 10% in running to 50% depending on the sport. The advantage changes only slightly with hormone suppressing drugs. I hope you consider passing a “Save Women’s Sports Act” which: • Protects sports teams from adverse action by a government, accrediting or licensing organization or a state athletic association. • Creates a private cause of action for any student deprived of an athletic opportunity or otherwise harmed by a school or college that knowingly violates the Act. • Stipulates that all sports teams shall be designated as male, female or co-ed based on biological sex. This requirement applies to public schools and universities and colleges, as well as any private school or college that chooses to compete against public schools. For more reasons on why I support the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, please visit ncvalues.org/sws#brief. I hope you consider saving women’s sports by supporting the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. Thank you.
