More than 80 people submitted testimony in opposition to House Bill 6, which would prevent trans athletes from participating in Ohio women’s sports and youth athletics.
Only a fraction of those who submitted testimony against a bill that would prevent trans athletes from participating in Ohio women’s sports and youth athletics were able to speak Wednesday due to time constraints.
Chants of “trans lives matter” could be heard from the hallways outside of the committee meeting during opponent testimony. Golski shared during her testimony her experience coaching a transgender swimmer. “One of the things that is being thrown out is by allowing trans youth to swim or in other girls sports that there is a sexual or pedophilia inclination,” he said. “… Could you dispel that because I hear this and it’s disturbing to hear it.”
Lalitha Pamidigantam, the advocacy manager at YWCA Columbus, reiterated in her testimony that transgender women are women and should be treated with dignity. “I can tell you that the best thing to do for the state of Ohio is to allow trans athletes,” Parker said. “Don’t take the opportunity for trans youth like me to play as their full authentic self.”
