Maine AG Baselessly Claims There Are ‘No Concerns Of Safety’ With Men Competing Against Women

Democrat Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey said without any basis Wednesday that there are “no concerns of safety” regarding male athletes competing against women.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Maine on Wednesday over the state’s refusal to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order that bans male athletes from competing in women’s sports on a national scale. Despite several female athletes suffering from serious injuries after competing against men, Frey said on “CNN News Central” that the state has found no reason to be concerned about trans-identifying men entering women’s sports competitions.

“We’ve been working though to understand what, if any problem, exists with the participation. If some of the harms that are being alleged really are of some concern and what we’ve identified, there really are no concerns of safety, there are no concerns about individuals who are just choosing which gender they want to give themselves in order to participate. So that too is really after a lot to work on whether or not there’s any issue here that warrants this intrusion by the federal government on what’s going on in Maine schools.”

WATCH:

Female athletes have repeatedly suffered from serious injuries at the hands of trans-identifying males. Payton McNabb, a 19-year-old volleyball player, suffered from a brain bleed, a traumatic brain injury, partial paralysis and loss of peripheral vision on her right side after being hit in the head with a ball spiked by a male athlete in April 2023.

A six-foot male basketball player with facial hair injured several players in Lowell, Massachusetts, while footage shows one girl falling to the ground and clutching her back in pain as the male wrestled the ball away from her on the court, the Heritage Foundation reported. Another male athlete knocked a girl’s teeth out during a field hockey game in Massachusetts, according to widely circulated footage.

Three players on a high school rugby team were also injured after being slammed by a male competitor in April 2022, the Washington Examiner reported.

Studies have found that men are biologically stronger and carry more body mass than women, posing an unfair advantage to male athletes and a higher risk of injury for women. One study indicated that untrained college men have “greater upper and lower body strength” than trained collegiate women athletes, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Many female athletes, who have worked their entire lives to achieve success in their sport, have been defeated by male athletes who did not perform well in the mens’ competitions. Male swimmer Lia Thomas, who ranked 544th in the men’s competition, became a top-ranked swimmer in the women’s competition at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Women’s Championships in March 2022.

The Trump administration is exempting Maine schools who are complying with the executive order to keep men out of women’s sports from the lawsuit, Attorney General Pam Bondi told the Daily Caller.

    Ok, so why do we have separate sports? Think if the .okay saved by having just one team per sport. This is the guy who spent $ 60,000 taxpayer dollars soundproofing his office, I wonder if his girlfriend appreciated it.

    Opinions are like assholes….everybody has one. But in this case the asshole frey has an opinion and that’s all it is, his opinion. Once again proving the democratic party is not for the people but their sponsors.

    But do the girls have concerns?

    Janet Mills says her hands are tied because of some “ Maine Law “ on “ Human Rights “
    A law passed by a razor thin partisan vote and supported over the finish line by a handful of homosexual activists who have won seats through deceiving the public to believe that they have the interest of Maine voters in mind . Total BS
    IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE IN AUGUSTA MAINE !

    Looking back at resent history, AG returned Elián González to Cuba, against Florida’s objections, in the south, integration was established when National Guards opened the doors of schools in Georgia against the objections of George Wallace…. I’m sure there are other examples to prove Maine’s Governor wrong.

    The libs who allow these mentally ill people to violate womans rights are just as crazy. They must be removed from public office permanently!

    What kind of parent allows a male into their daughters locker-room, bathroom etc. At some point the parents and female athletes will just have to boycott sports. It is the only thing that will get this solved.

    Aaron “I’LL SLEEP WITH ANY WOMAN…EVEN JANET MILLS” Frey, who has never played sports, makes a typical ignorant democrat talking point. Bet Cheater Aaron also backs Maryland Man, a guy who assaulted his desperate girlfriend who was later to be his wife, and is a gangbanger and a legalized citizen of El Salvador.

    Even rats know to bail on a sinking ship, but this guy is so stupid he’ll stay on a ship with a hole in the hull.

    It’s all about chaos from the pledged Marxist…. boys are girls, girls are boys , borders are bad offshoring is good, patriotism bad, hating your history good… Trump with documents he’s allowed to have as president – bad, Biden with documents as a senator, fine. Democrats GFY.
