Sure. So I am a senior at Lawrence High School in Maine. I compete in the shot put and indoor track. And this week on Monday, we just had the Class B state championship tournament. And at the beginning of the meet, one of my teammates came over to me and she told me that she and the other girl pole vaulters were going to have to compete against a biological male.

And understandably, she was very upset about this and very distraught and discouraged because she knew and the other girls knew that they wouldn't be able to beat this male. And that because he decided to compete in the girls category, they would automatically be knocked down a spot in the state rankings and he would win the gold. So she was very upset about that, understandably.

And I was very upset about that because no girl should be put in that situation and no male athlete should have the opportunity to step in and compete against women and take away their opportunity to be successful and to win and to have the honor of winning a gold and winning the state championship.

So that inspired me to respond to Representative Libby's post on Facebook and just stand up for my teammate and for the other pole vaulters and any other female athlete who ever has to face competing against a male. And so that's my story this week.

Yeah, so I really didn't hear much from the rest of my team other than that one girl who was directly affected and that her two pole vaulting coaches, they were very upset and agreed that this should never happen. As far as the surrounding community, overwhelmingly, I have been seeing and hearing support for our side and say that, no, this should never happen.

And of course, there are some outliers and in the minority that are standing up for John or Katie and are congratulating him on beating these girls. But from what I've seen and from what I've heard and experienced, by and large, I'm experiencing support for my stance.

Yeah, so I think that for the most part, none of them have thought about this yet because it hasn't really directly affected any of us until this week. And so I don't really think that most of them are really paying attention or looking when it didn't directly affect them.

And on my team, at least, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of ready action to step in and make a change other than my teammate who was directly affected and had to compete against him, which is a big reason why I wanted to do this and speak out against this because it is a huge issue. And if we don't stand up and speak out now, then it's going to continue to

happening and getting worse and it's going to be more widespread and I don't want any more girls to be affected by this. So I want to encourage any other athletes and especially female athletes to stand up and speak out against this and speak up for truth. We have to speak up for just the biological reality and truth

that males have huge advantages over women and that we need our separate spaces from them to be able to have the chance to succeed and win. Because if we give them an inch, they'll take a mile. And if we allow, if we continue allowing them to step in, then women will no longer have their own separate spaces. And that's just not okay. And that's not something that I'm willing to let happen.
