Title IX Reforms Threaten Female-Only Sports

Today, on the 50th anniversary of the passage of Title IX regulations, the “Our Bodies, Our Sports” rally was held at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., in celebration of women’s athletic achievements and in defiance of transgender sports policy. The Independent Women’s Forum was a lead sponsor of the rally. Also today, the Biden administration announced new regulations with regard to Title IX that redefine “sex” to include “gender identity.” This change would spell the end of female-only sports.

In addition to college and high-school female athletes, both Republican and Democratic officials were in attendance. I spoke with Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat who represented Hawaii in the House, who was an original sponsor of the Protect Women’s Sports Act and a supporter of the Women’s Bill of Rights.
