Rep. Barb Gleim, a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, recently expressed her views on social media regarding women’s sports and related legislative efforts in Pennsylvania.
On July 7, 2025, Rep. Gleim emphasized the urgency to protect women’s sports in Pennsylvania. She acknowledged the contributions of Senate champions and leadership in this endeavor by stating “The time is now. to save Women’s Sports in PA. Thanks to our Senate champions and leadership too @SenatorKristin @SenatorKeefer @SenatorJWard @PAGOP @PASenateGOP @PAHouseGOP”.
Later that day, she shared an incident from the legislative session where she was silenced while quoting Education Secretary McMahon. Despite being interrupted, she asserted her stance on safety and fairness concerns by saying “Let me be clear, putting men in women’s intimate spaces is not safe or reasonable. Putting them up against women in physical competition is not fair.” She called for action on Senate Bill 9 with “Let’s discharge SB9 PA!”
On July 8, 2025, Rep. Gleim conveyed agreement with a statement or sentiment by simply posting “100%”, although further context was not provided.
Additional information for Step 3: SB9 refers to proposed legislation aimed at maintaining gender-specific categories within sports competitions.
