U.S. Supreme Court and Congress to Safeguard Fairness and Safety in Women's Sports, urging

AI Summary

This resolution urges the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold states' rights to reserve women's sports for females only and calls on Congress to pass laws that protect the safety of women athletes by ensuring sports teams are distinguished based on an individual's biological sex at birth. The resolution highlights concerns that allowing individuals assigned male at birth to compete in women's sports, even after testosterone suppression, jeopardizes fairness, safety, and privacy for female athletes due to inherent biological differences, citing examples of perceived unfair competition and physical harm. It also references Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs, and argues that allowing males to compete in women's sports or access women's private spaces violates the spirit and intent of Title IX, which has historically recognized sex-specific athletic teams to promote equal opportunities for women and girls.
