TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORTS

Have 5 minutes?  

 

DIAG has teamed up with Champion Women, and the Women's Sports Policy Working Group to let our senators and representatives know that yes, it is happening, and no, it’s not okay: including males in sex-based sports programs and activities for females is unfair and dangerous.

 

Up until 10 minutes ago, school-based sports programs for young women and girls were based on the biological reality of sex. This is in no small part the result of the landmark 1972 Title IX legislation which ensured equal opportunities and resources for women and girls in schools that receive federal funding.

 

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

 

Our misguided administration and legislators have once again failed to read the room (or think critically about this), choosing to not uphold the rights of females — once a key liberal focus, and shifting instead to the “inclusivity” model. We’ve seen the tragic effect of male athletes participating in female sports: decreased participation, loss of privacy, loss of honors and opportunities, and injuries.

 

Our legislators need to understand the reality of the issue and start to turn this ship around. Using DIAG’s Action Button, send a customizable letter to your lawmakers to emphasize the importance of protecting sports and spaces for women and girls, and amending Title IX to reflect its original reality-based intent.
