But wait, there’s more! The lineup of witnesses also includes Sarah Parshall Perry, a senior legal fellow at the esteemed Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank known for upholding traditional values and defending women’s rights in sports.

With the hearing scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. EST, it’s set to be a fiery showdown between those fighting to preserve the fairness and integrity of women’s sports and those pushing for a radical, gender-fluid agenda that could threaten the future of female athletics as we know it.
