Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Last year, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Title IX, which has made incredible progress for women in this country, opening doors for countless women and girls. Thanks to Title IX, women have been afforded incredible opportunities in sports. I have seen this firsthand in my daughter who is an aspiring college volleyball player, as well as through the growth of women's professional sports across this country, including women's hockey. It is outrageous that we even have to consider legislation like this today, but, unfortunately, Democrats are seeking to weaken Title IX. President Biden and Democrats across this Nation are pushing for radical policies that will jeopardize the progress that has been made over 50 years. These policies ignore the biological differences between men and women. They will force female athletes to compete against biological males in high school and collegiate sports. They will jeopardize years of hard work put in by female athletes like my daughter and disincentivize their future participation. In short, they will erase women from athletics. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act will protect and strengthen Title IX and will ensure that women and girls have the level playing field they deserve. {time} 1400
