Conservatives are joining forces with fair-minded liberals who respect rule of law and the science of biology, chromosomes and sex. We’re fighting to save women’s sports by defending landmark Title IX legislation passed 50 years ago today. We know the protections offered by Title IX — signed into law by former Republican President Richard Nixon — protect biological women from biological men who are invoking transgender status and entering our fields of competition. But female bodies are immutably different from male bodies in everything from lung capacity and muscle mass to bone structure, oxygen and blood flow. Because of biological male advantages, these competitors are displacing girls and women from scholarships, prizes, and other leadership opportunities. Last week, in a segment about today’s “Our Bodies, Our Sports,” rally, activist Steve Bannon discussed why defending Title IX is important for conservatives.
“Now, you never would think a bunch of conservatives or MAGA would be celebrating Title IX, but it’s one of the most important things that was ever done to set up women’s sports,” Bannon said last week on his podcast program. “And it generated a whole generation of these young women that are just leaders.”
Athletes speaking at today’s rally include NCAA Swimmer Riley Gaines Barker, USA Women’s Masters Track Athlete Cynthia Monteleone, Olympian Inga Thompson and Skateboarder Taylor Silverman.
