Men on average have about a 70 percent stronger grip than women. That figure has decreased slightly in the last decades, but men are still stronger than women. Which is why today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on “Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans,” which looked at whether biological males who identify as females should be able to participate in women’s sports, was silly.
A Democratic witness embarrassed herself trying to prove otherwise:
Democrat LGBTQAI+ Activist: "There's been this news article of men that think that they can beat Serena Williams in Tennis…It's just not the case! She is stronger than them!"@Riley_Gaines_: "Both Serena and Venus lost to the 203rd ranked male tennis player…" pic.twitter.com/YUIpHNWeUP

Riley Gaines, former University of Kentucky swimmer and supporter of biologically cohesive sports teams, pointed out that a man has, in fact, clobbered Serena Williams. In 1998, male tennis player Karsten Braasch, then ranked 203rd in the world, beat Serena and Venus individually after the sisters claimed no male player ranked lower than 200 could take them.
“They wouldn’t have had a chance against anyone inside the top 500 because today I played like someone ranked 600th to keep it fun,” Braasch said at the time.
