Biological men should not be competing in women's athletics. This is a commonsense sentiment that most Americans agree with, especially back in my home State of Idaho. However, under the Biden administration, the integrity of women's and girls' sports has come under threat. In fact, just this last year, President Biden rolled out a regulation attempting to usurp States' ability to protect women and girls and make sure they have a safe and fair playing field in sports. That is why, this week, my House colleagues and I passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. This bill strengthens Title IX protections to ensure the definition of an individual's gender in an athletic competition is based solely on their genetics at birth. Mr. Speaker, women's and girls' sports are for women and girls only. I proudly voted ``yes'' on this legislation and encourage my Senate colleagues to do the same. ____________________
