Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit male students from participating in female sports at schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Protecting Girls' Sports for Military Kids Act," seeks to prohibit male students from participating in female sports at schools operated by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA). The bill specifically defines "male" and "female" based on biological reproductive systems, stating that an individual's sex is determined by their natural reproductive capacity to produce eggs or sperm. Under this legislation, any athletic program or activity designated exclusively for female students would be restricted to individuals who meet the bill's biological definition of "female." The bill aims to prevent transgender or male-assigned students from participating in sports teams designated for female students at military-affiliated schools. By establishing clear biological definitions and participation restrictions, the proposed law would create a binary approach to sports participation based on reproductive potential, effectively excluding transgender and non-conforming students from competing in sports aligned with their gender identity.
