House Republicans are fighting against the extreme left’s radical gender identity agenda, which has put women’s and girls’ sports on the chopping block, by introducing H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023. This legislation allows women and girls a fair playing field in competitive sports by ensuring that school athletics comply with Title IX recognition of a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
THE FACTS ABOUT THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORTS ACT OF 2023:
Clarifies that a recipient of federal education funding violates Title IX’s prohibition against sex discrimination if the recipient operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs or activities and allows a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.
States that sex in the athletic context must be recognized based only on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
Clarifies that the bill’s provisions do not prohibit schools or institutions from permitting males to practice against women’s sports teams, protecting the long-standing routine of some women’s athletic programs of practicing or scrimmaging against males.
