Jim Jordan held a hearing on locker room safety & it went about as well as you’d imagine
briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!Harvard researchers found that 36% of transgender or gender-nonbinary students with restricted bathroom or locker room access reported being assaulted over a 12-month span.But in this case, Republicans appeared even more ridiculous than usual.
That’s because Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan was leading the hearing. In case you need a refresher: For eight years, Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University (1987-95).
That means he’s been in a lot of locker rooms, where wrestlers say he turned a blind eye to sexual misconduct. During Jordan’s time at Ohio State, university athletic doctor Richard Strauss was sexually abusing student-athletes with impunity.
Strauss abused at least 177 students from 1976 to 1996, according to a report commissioned by OSU. Though Jordan denies knowing anything about the abuse, multiple wrestlers have said differently.
