I thank Chairwoman Foxx for leading on this very important issue. As a former athlete in high school, college, and beyond, I know the unparalleled opportunities that sports offer to women and girls. Title IX and its mission to end discrimination against women in sports made so much of this possible for me and countless other women over the years. Today, these opportunities for women and girls are under threat. Joe Biden's Department of Education is requiring that schools allow biological males to participate in women's sports. This is fundamentally unfair. It deprives women and girls of what so many of us fought for decades to achieve: equal opportunity to train, compete, and excel in athletics. Today, we take a stand in defense of women's sports and to stop this dangerous precedent. This is why I am honored to be an original cosponsor of this Congressional Review Act to overturn the Biden administration's radical rule to allow biological men in women's sports. The CRA will protect opportunities for women and girls to compete fairly on the athletic field. Without interference, the woke Biden agenda will continue further.
