WASHINGTON – Congressman Morgan Luttrell (TX-08) released the below statement following votes on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023, which ensures that biological females compete against other biological females in women's competitive sports, not against biological men.
“Biological men have absolutely no place in women’s sports – it is a scientific fact that men and women are biologically different,” said Congressman Luttrell. “Title IX established a level playing field for women, but, unfortunately, the Biden Administration is actively pushing a woke agenda that will take away opportunities for women who have worked extremely hard to be where they are, on and off the field. I am proud to support this commonsense legislation that stands up for the rights of female athletes by putting fairness, competition, and safety first.”
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.
