Senator Tommy Tuberville, a Republican from Alabama, is reintroducing the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in the newly Republican-led Senate. The measure aims to prevent biological males from participating in women's and girls' sports. Tuberville has been advocating for this legislation since 2023.
The bill upholds Title IX's definition of gender as determined solely by a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth, excluding gender identity. It seeks to prohibit federal funding for athletic programs that allow biological males to compete in female sports.
