Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson has cast his vote in favor of H.R.28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. This legislation aims to maintain Title IX protections for female athletes by mandating that school athletics adhere to the Title IX recognition of a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
"In recent years, we have seen brave women take a stand as leading voices in the fight to protect the integrity of female athletics," stated Rep. Simpson. "There is no debate—biological men should never be competing in women's sports. This is a matter of fairness, not controversy, and the overwhelming majority of Americans agree. I was proud to support this commonsense legislation to protect the future of women's athletics and uphold the promise of Title IX."
The act was passed with a vote count of 218-206.
