The Biden Administration is seeking to drastically alter Title IX by redefining sex discrimination to include disparate treatment on the basis of “gender identity.”
Title IX has ensured that women and girls have access to the same academic and athletic opportunities that were afforded to men and boys for 51 years.
By redefining sex discrimination to include “gender identity” in regulation, the Biden Administration will be eradicating female-only sports, spaces, and scholarships at institutions receiving federal funding.
“Under the proposed rule, women’s sports aren’t just for women. They’re for anyone who simply says they are a woman.” Riley Gaines, former University of Kentucky Collegiate Athlete and Independent Women’s Forum Ambassador, said during her opening testimony. “Let me be perfectly clear. A school that knowingly allows a male athlete to take a spot on a woman’s team or allows a male athlete to take the field in a woman’s game is denying a female student athletic opportunity. That is sex-based discrimination, and it violates Title IX, regardless of what the new regulations might say.”
Permitting biological males to compete in women’s sports is inherently unfair to women and girls throughout the country.
Biological males competing in women’s sports is fundamentally unfair. Males have physiological advantages over women, including body size, greater muscle mass, increased lung capacity, larger hearts, and greater bone density. Even athletes of similar size, height, and wingspan exhibit performance disparities on the basis of sex.
