22 | 22 | | Designating October 10, 2025, as ‘‘American Girls in Sports |
---|
23 | 23 | | Day’’. |
---|
24 | 24 | | Whereas athletic participation has an important, positive im- |
---|
25 | 25 | | pact on young girls, improving their physical health, self- |
---|
26 | 26 | | confidence, and discipline; |
---|
27 | 27 | | Whereas women have been responsible for some of the great- |
---|
28 | 28 | | est athletic feats in the sports history of the United |
---|
29 | 29 | | States, from the Olympic games to professional competi- |

36 | 36 | | Whereas the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amend- |
---|
37 | 37 | | ments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) (referred to in |
---|
38 | 38 | | this preamble as ‘‘Title IX’’) marked a pivotal moment |
---|
39 | 39 | | in the Federal support of girls in sports; |
---|
40 | 40 | | Whereas there are fundamental biological differences between |
---|
41 | 41 | | men and women that put women at a competitive dis- |
---|
42 | 42 | | advantage in sports and jeopardize their safety during |
---|
43 | 43 | | competition; |
---|
44 | 44 | | Whereas, in recent years, there has been an increase in the |
---|
45 | 45 | | number of biological men allowed to compete in women’s |
---|
46 | 46 | | sports; |
---|
47 | 47 | | Whereas, since 2003, biological men have displaced women |
---|
48 | 48 | | and girls from over 950 championship titles, medals, |
---|
49 | 49 | | scholarships, and records they should have rightfully won, |
---|
50 | 50 | | including at least 28 women’s sports titles in volleyball, |
---|
51 | 51 | | swimming, mountain biking, track and field, |
---|
52 | 52 | | weightlifting, and cycling; |
---|
53 | 53 | | Whereas the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics |
---|
54 | 54 | | (NAIA) has instituted new policies to protect biological |
---|
55 | 55 | | girls in sports and ensure that only student athletes |
---|
56 | 56 | | whose biological sex is female will be allowed to compete |
---|
57 | 57 | | in NAIA-sponsored women’s sports teams; |
---|
58 | 58 | | Whereas it is imperative that women’s and girl’s opportuni- |
---|
59 | 59 | | ties to compete athletically are protected; and |
---|
60 | 60 | | Whereas October 10th, as represented by the Roman numer- |
---|
61 | 61 | | als ‘‘XX’’, signifies the female XX chromosomes: Now, |
---|
62 | 62 | | therefore, be it |
