A bill to protect women and girls in sports is heading for a House vote, possibly as early as next week. Dubbed “the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023,” the bill is a direct challenge to the newly proposed Title IX rule by the Department of Education under the Biden administration.
The Act prohibits biological males from competing in federally funded women’s or girls’ sports programs. However, it doesn’t ban biological males from “training” or “practicing with” females as long as they don’t take away athletic benefits from a female participant, such as training, competition, scholarship, and admission to an educational institution.
