<p>House Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hakeem-jeffries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hakeem Jeffries</a> (D-NY) stood in solidarity with the rest of his party on Thursday as not one of them voted in favor of the GOP-led bill designed to protect women&#8217;s sports.</p>
<p>Jeffries criticized the measure — claiming that all &#8220;kind-hearted Americans&#8221; stood with him in supporting trans-identifying children — and said that &#8220;extreme MAGA Republicans&#8221; were attempting to amplify an issue that &#8220;doesn&#8217;t exist.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) condemned a GOP-led bill in the House Thursday that would ban trans women and girls from participating in women&#39;s sports. The bill is not expected to pass the Senate. <a href="https://t.co/TZCoGtmvLk">https://t.co/TZCoGtmvLk</a> <a href="https://t.co/pzm2mc2WSH">pic.twitter.com/pzm2mc2WSH</a></p>

<p>Referencing the bill — which is expected to die in the Democrat-controlled Senate — Jeffries added, &#8220;I believe in the fundamental goodness and decency and integrity and respectfulness of the American people.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on to argue that for him, that bill — which split along party lines — was not political. Rather, he said, it was about &#8220;being there for all of America&#8217;s children.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; including transgender children, who just want to be able to live. And to belong. And to make friends,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That&#8217;s something that all Americans, I believe, all decent, kind-hearted Americans fundamentally support. And extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to sensationalize an issue that doesn&#8217;t really exist in the way that they are falsely portraying.&#8221;</p>
<p>But despite Jeffries&#8217; insistence that the issue &#8220;doesn&#8217;t really exist,&#8221; trans-identifying athlete Chloe Barnes <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11864437/Transgender-girl-helped-high-schools-track-field-team-secure-state-victory.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just recently</a> helped Brookline High School to win the Massachusetts State Interscholastic Athletics Association Division 1 Indoor Track and Field Championships.</p>

<p>Just last year, trans-identifying University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas — who is still biologically fully male — won an NCAA women&#8217;s championship title.</p>
<p>And this issue didn&#8217;t just suddenly arise in the last year or even over the last several years. The 2018 Connecticut State high school women&#8217;s track &amp; field championships were <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/transgender-track-athletes-win-connecticut-state-championship-debate-ensues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dominated</a> by two biologically male trans-identifying students.</p>
<p>Hulu has even <a href="https://www.wuwm.com/2021-06-28/changing-the-game-documentary-follows-three-trans-high-school-athletes-tells-a-story-of-courage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">released a documentary</a>, aptly titled &#8220;Changing the Game,&#8221; that follows the paths of three trans-identifying athletes involved in their high school sports teams.</p>
