A Senate hearing on women’s sports turned to the contentious issue of locker rooms and female athletes. Sen. Mike Lee questioned Kim Jones, co-founder of ICONS Women, about the reported impact on female athletes who share locker-room spaces with biological males. Jones said some athletes were so fearful that they hid in janitors’ closets to change, arguing that women’s sports should remain a safe space for women. #WomensSports #WomenAthletes #SenateHearing #MikeLee #KimJones #ICONSWomen #LockerRoom #FemaleAthletes #Sports #WomensRights #GenderDebate #USPolitics #Senate #PoliticalNews #BreakingNews ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
