  • U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.), joined by 56 Republican cosponsors, reintroduced the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, aiming to ensure fair competition in women's sports by requiring compliance with Title IX's recognition of a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.

Florida Representative Greg Steube has reintroduced the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," aiming to amend Title IX to define sex based solely on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This legislation seeks to ensure that only biological females can participate in women's and girls' sports at educational institutions receiving federal funding. The bill, which has garnered support from 19 Republican co-sponsors, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, is a response to what Steube describes as the Biden administration's overreach in redefining Title IX to include gender identity. Critics argue that this redefinition could undermine the fairness and safety in women's sports by allowing transgender women to compete against biological females. The act has been met with opposition from groups like the Human Rights Campaign, who view it as discriminatory and an attack on transgender rights.
