Bill > S1988

This bill aims to prohibit males from participating in athletic programs or activities designated for women or girls at the three major U.S. military service academies: the United States Military Academy (West Point), the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Air Force Academy. The Secretary of Defense would be required to ensure this prohibition is enforced, though the bill includes a nuanced provision allowing males to train or practice with women's teams as long as no female athletes are denied roster spots, competition opportunities, scholarships, or other related benefits. The bill specifically defines "athletic programs and activities" broadly to include any programs conditionally tied to athletic team participation, and defines "sex" as a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This proposed legislation appears to be designed to maintain gender-specific athletic spaces within military service academies, with the intent of protecting opportunities for female athletes while still allowing some level of interaction between male and female athletes during training and practice.
