Women's amateur sports would be only for athletes who are female under federal law.
This bill would define "female," "male," and "sex" in federal law using reproductive systems. It would require amateur sports organizations to ensure only individuals defined as female compete in women's and girls' athletic events. This would change who is eligible for these competitions across the country.
Today, federal law does not define "female," "male," or "sex" for amateur sports. It also does not explicitly stop male individuals from participating in female-designated amateur athletic competitions. If this bill becomes law, it would add these definitions to federal law. It would also require amateur sports organizations to prohibit males from participating in competitions for females, women, or girls.
