"As a former college athlete myself, I can’t imagine how it feels for female athletes to compromise the fairness of the sport they love by being forced to compete against biological men – it’s unfair. Women in sports fought for too long to be respected in athletics – and now the radical left’s agenda is putting Title IX and the integrity of women’s athletics in jeopardy," said Congressman Westerman. "This should not be a partisan issue; it’s why we have women’s sports – basic genetics tells us that some biological males will naturally have a physical advantage over some females. This bill, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, will ensure a level playing field for female athletes. House Republicans promised to protect the integrity and fairness of women’s sports from the woke left, and that’s exactly what this bill does.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:44:29Z |
