My name is Cora Cox, and I'm a senior at Thompson Valley High School and one of the captains for the girls' soccer team. For the last four years, I have been blessed with the ability to play for this incredible program. Unfortunately, last year my team was put in an unfair situation where we had to compete against a biological male This affected me and my teammates not only mentally but also physically. One of my teammates and very close friends was put in an uncomfortable situation where she had to change in the same dressing room as a biological male. Another example was when we were playing against this player and had to defend against them with our bodies. As you would assume, they were both physically stronger and faster than us, which led to several players getting hurt. This not only breaks my heart, but makes me genuinely scared for future athletes as this problem continues to develop. My goal by giving you this speech is not to shame or put down any athlete. Me and the rest of my team believe that everyone deserves to be and feel however that they would like. My speech is to protect my team and all other biological female athletes as well as to keep my sport fair and safe. I believe that together as a unit, we can all find a solution to include these people in their own league while protecting the girls who have worked so hard to be where they are today. Thank you for your time and specifically thank you, Ms. Nancy, for supporting us and having our backs. Thank you.
