The Leader’s Floor Lookout: Thursday, April 20, 2023
Washington,
April 20, 2023
Here’s what to watch for on the House Floor today:
Defending Women’s Sports from Woke Policies Despite claiming to support women, Democrats continue to push woke policies that take away opportunities for them to achieve athletic success. The Biden Administration’s new Title IX rules prevent schools that receive federal funding from banning biological males from competing in female sports. Hardworking female athletes who have trained their whole lives to achieve their dreams are being forced to compete against transgender biological males under the guise of inclusivity. Women's and girls’ sports exist for a reason – it is unfair to allow biological males to compete in the same category and commandeer spots on teams, scholarship funds, and titles meant for biological women. H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023, introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, prevents biological males from competing in school athletic programs for women or girls. House Republicans will keep working to make sure women and girls have the opportunity to compete on a fair playing field by requiring schools to comply with the Title IX recognition of a person’s genetics at birth. |
