The speed-up on that (to squeeze it into 4 minutes) is a bit jarring. Poor Abigail's all chipmunky. You can set playback speed to 0.75, or here's another source on Twitter:

Not found a clean original, or a longer video - can anyone help?

Sorry hadn't realised speed was off. Message still clear though. Will look and see if I can find another clip.

Testimony before Senate Judiciary Committee at a Hearing on the “Equality” Act

Senator Marsha Blackburn is brilliant too.
(R-Tennessee) Testimony before Senate Judiciary Committee.

FindTheTruth · 18/03/2021 14:51

And another one 💐
Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith

Iamhangingin · 18/03/2021 14:56

Very concise. She's such a great speaker and very balanced. Pro trans while still advocacting for sex based rights - because sex and gender are different and require different approaches while respecting our different needs.

FindTheTruth · 18/03/2021 15:09

Senator Cindy is getting trolled because of this speech. Twitter army calling it 'hateful', 'cruelty', 'bigotry', 'reverse racism' and on an on.

In the speech she talks about the data showing top female athletes being outperformed by Tier 2 males and the 900% increase in girls in sport with i9 that will be harmed by the 'equality act' proposals.

and this tweet takes the biscuit "Senator please lean into the Christian beliefs you profess and think of the innocent children you are punishing. The cruelty is unimaginable" 🤮

Abigail Shrier is brilliant in those clips. Awesome woman 💐

It's a good description of what the movement is doing to society

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 18/03/2021 15:54

Immediately after the Washington Correctional Facility voted to allow transwomen into womens prisons, 6 transferred and one raped a woman on arrival. I'm so angry I can barely speak. This is how much women matter - served up to abusive men.

FindTheTruth · 18/03/2021 16:02

I hope that American women are organised and mobilising on this legally and in every way they can.

is there the American equivalent of FPFW? Legalfeminist?

Abigail Schrier was incredible. Additional testimony from her can be found below at that link. It was a three-hour hearing, so listen at these minutes:

2:34:18
2:59:40
3:04:19
3:13:00

Also, please note that Ted Cruz is a big douche and despite his pandering to girls' sports in his questions, he doesn't care about women's rights. Same goes for Cindy Hyde-Smith, who is also such a racist she jokes about lynching. Hyde-Smith does not deserve our praise, but Schrier is TRULY brave to stake her reputation on speaking out...I'm so frustrated that she's a rarity in US investigative journalism.

Delphinium20 · 18/03/2021 19:42

Don't feel bad for Hyde-Smith...she has a long and illustrious reputation for being an unapologetic racist.

Just posted one with time stamps for Schrier.

It's worth going to the end to watch Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat) wrap up the hearing. It's an exercise of mendacity using many of the tricks we've seen before. It's enraging but instructive.

He starts at 3:15:30. The highlight of the hearing for him was evidence given by a transgirl starting at 1:19:59.

A Democrat:

'South Carolina Democrat state Rep. Cezar McKnight (D-101) has introduced legislation to ban minors from undergoing transgender-reassignment surgery and from receiving medications from doctors to alter gender or delay puberty.'

ArabellaScott · 18/03/2021 21:38

Is that quite unusual, for Democrats, lionheart? Are they all pro transitioning children?

Delphinium20 · 18/03/2021 22:07

I'm shocked @lionheart ! This is the first Democrat I've heard of to weigh in

lionheart · 18/03/2021 23:11

I think they are more on board with the LGBT+ agenda and everything that it entails--still pretty much at the 'anyone who objects is hateful and transphobic' stage.

Abigail Shrier, senator like
When Abigail was a guest on Triggernometry, she was asked why she gets so much flak for the book and said 'it's because i'm right'.

That's stayed with me.

FindTheTruth · 19/03/2021 16:51

She's right| fighting for the freedom of gender non conforming girls to be themselves. fighting for girls and women to play sports and not be locked up with rapists.

CousinKrispy · 19/03/2021 17:04

I've just finished her book and was struck by how much compassion she expresses for her subjects, both the young women identifying as trans and their parents.

South Carolina is a very conservative and religious state, so even their Dems will lean more conservative, compared to many other states.

UppityPuppity · 19/03/2021 18:55

Abigail Shrier is extraordinary. I was almost in tears watching her testimony.

Yes it’s because she’s right.

The awful thing is that everyone listening knows she is right and will (probably) proceed regardless. Cowards despise the brave.

That poor woman in the Washington Correctional Facility who was raped. Everyone knew it would happen and they proceeded regardless. They had a duty to protect her and refused knowing the full consequences. Cowards. Bastards.
