Female athletes like us will suffer if Biden admin is allowed to rewrite Title IX

There are bad ideas. And then there are bad ideas that hurt people.

Seriously hurt a lot of people.

The Biden administration’s decision to radically revise Title IX rules does more than attempt to redefine sex in American law. It absolutely guts equal opportunities for women – particularly female athletes like us – and seriously endangers their health and safety in the process.

No wonder so many lawsuits have been filed in just the last couple of weeks to challenge these new changes.

WOMEN UNDER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S TITLE IX CHANGES FACE THE ‘EVISCERATION OF LEGAL WOMANHOOD,’ EXPERTS SAY

By changing the definition of "sex" to include "gender identity," the administration seems determined to force all Americans to ignore scientific reality and embrace radical gender ideology.

The administration is convinced that gender identity trumps biology when it comes to defining "sex" under Title IX. No amount of biological evidence will persuade them otherwise.

Men are, on average, bigger, stronger and faster than women. When men and women collide on athletic courts and playing fields, it’s the women who usually get hurt. When they try to share the same restrooms and locker rooms, it’s usually the women who get taken advantage of and preyed upon.

It’s the whole reason men have their own teams, and women have theirs. It’s why Title IX was created – to ensure crucial protections, fair circumstances and equal opportunities.
