The House passed on Thursday the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that would amend Title IX to prevent men from competing against women in school sports.
clarify that in the Education Amendments of 1972, the term “sex” as mentioned under the Title IX section “shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
“It’s about muscle mass and it’s about fairness,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said at a press conference flanked by colleagues and three female student athletes who had been forced to compete against men and lost out on opportunities because of it. The legislation comes after President Joe Biden’s Department of Education ramped up efforts this month to allow men who say they are women into women’s athletics through a Title IX ruleThough the bill is not expected to advance in the Senate, the Biden administration announced that if it were to make it to the president’s desk, he would veto it.
Stefanik joined roughly 20 other Republican women the morning of the bill’s passage to celebrate their efforts to preserve female competition in sports.
