State lawmakers heard testimony Thursday that a bill they\u2019re considering would require children like Wells to compete in athletic events only against members of their own biological sex, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courier-journal.com\/story\/news\/politics\/ky-general-assembly\/2022\/02\/10\/kentucky-bill-banning-transgender-girls-girls-teams-advances\/6720231001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to&nbsp;the Courier Journal. Wells\u2019 school only has a field hockey team for girls, and the bill would reportedly eliminate Wells\u2019 opportunity to play the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Wells\u2019 mother described her child as \u201cnot the greatest field hockey player,\u201d according to the Journal. Meanwhile, Wells\u2019 father said his child\u2019s lack of athletic prowess, even on the girls\u2019 team, shows that biological sex does not provide an advantage in athletic competition.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Anti-trans bills are moving with remarkable speed through statehouses from Arizona to Kentucky to Mississippi to Alaska and beyond.
