参议院司法委员会成员、密苏里州共和党参议员乔什·霍利在该委员会关于女子体育公平性的听证会上询问证人,耶鲁大学的游泳选手是否同意与当时的宾夕法尼亚大学游泳选手利亚·托马斯共用更衣室。
托马斯是一名生理男性,自称跨性别者,在与当时的肯塔基大学游泳选手莱利·盖恩斯及其他选手竞技并获胜后,成为了学术体育领域性别划分辩论的核心人物。
“三年前,莱利·盖恩斯就坐在你现在在这个委员会听证会上的位置上,她向委员会描述了被迫在未经自己同意的情况下与一名生理男性共用更衣室、被迫在他面前脱衣、被迫看他在自己面前脱衣,随后又不得不在完全不公平的情况下与她——与他——同台竞技的感受,”霍利对独立女子体育委员会联合创始人金·琼斯说道。

霍利表示,琼斯的女儿也曾在耶鲁大学参加竞技游泳比赛,耶鲁大学和宾夕法尼亚大学一样,都属于常春藤联盟院校。
琼斯证实,她的女儿在2021-2022赛季的“多场比赛”中与托马斯同场竞技。
最高法院《第九章》裁决可能对寻求因跨性别运动员受损女性损害赔偿的诉讼产生的影响
当被问及队内女孩是否被问及是否对与托马斯共用更衣室感到自在时,琼斯也回答了“没有”。
琼斯告诉霍利,游泳选手们被要求参加定期的强制会议,会上他们被提醒,跨性别运动员参赛是学校和联盟的决定。

“如果她们想就这个话题发表意见,必须先让教练和体育总监审核她们的言论。她们被告诫要管好自己的家人。威胁非常巨大,”她说。“压力非常大,而且这种压力会定期、持续地施加。”

霍利称这种情况“令人难以置信”,但没有说“难以置信”,他表示,根据“我们所了解的情况以及你女儿的经历”,这些情况是可信的。

Senate Judiciary Committee member Josh Hawley, R-Mo., asked a witness at the panel’s hearing on fairness in women’s sports whether swimmers at Yale consented to sharing a locker room with then-University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.
Thomas, a biological male who identifies as transgender, became a central figure in the debate over sex divisions in scholastic athletics after competing against and defeating then-University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines and others.
“Three years ago, Riley Gaines sat right where you’re sitting at a hearing in front of this committee, and she described for the committee what it was like to be forced to have a biological man in her locker room without her consent, forced to undress in front of him, forced to watch him undress in front of her, forced to then go compete with her — against her — in a totally unfair situation,” Hawley told Kim Jones, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports.

Hawley said Jones’ daughter also swam competitively at Yale, which, like the University of Pennsylvania, is in the Ivy League.
Jones confirmed that her daughter raced against Thomas in “multiple competitions” during the 2021-2022 season.

Jones also answered “no” when asked if girls on the team were asked whether they were comfortable sharing a locker room with Thomas.
Jones told Hawley that swimmers were required to attend regular mandatory meetings where they were reminded that intersex swimming was the decision of their schools and league.

“If they wanted to speak on the subject, they had to get their words cleared by their coaches and athletic directors. They were told to control their families. The threats were gigantic,” she said. “The pressure was enormous, and it came down on a regular, regular basis.”

Hawley called that kind of dynamic “incredible,” but stopped short of “unbelievable,” saying the situations are believable “based on what we know [and] your daughter’s experience.”
