RESOLUTION 
Supporting the designation of the week including June 23, 
2025, as ‘‘National Women’s Sports Week’’ to celebrate 
the anniversary of the passage of title IX and the growth 
of women’s sports. 
Whereas title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 
U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) (referred to in this preamble as 
‘‘title IX’’) was enacted on June 23, 1972, to end unjust 
sex discrimination in education, including in athletics; 
Whereas title IX transformed sports by guaranteeing women 
and girls the right to equal athletic opportunities; 
Whereas the purposes and benefits of title IX are negated for 
women whenever men claiming to be women are granted 
access to female sports;

Whereas title IX has resulted in a 545 percent increase in 
the percentage of women playing college sports and a 990 
percent increase in the percentage of women playing high 
school sports; 
Whereas athletic participation helps women and girls develop 
confidence, initiative, and leadership skills; 
Whereas policies allowing for the inclusion of men in women’s 
sports have no basis in biological fact or valid medical re-
search; 
Whereas providing equal athletic opportunities in sports to 
women is impossible without single-sex teams and com-
petitions reserved exclusively for female athletes; 
Whereas, without separate single-sex teams and competitions 
based on biological sex for men and women, men will 
dominate competitive sports where size, strength, and 
speed are factors, depriving female athletes of athletic 
and academic opportunities; 
Whereas the biological differences between men and women 
have led to women being injured by men competing in 
women’s sports; 
Whereas, since 2017, men have won at least 24 professional 
women’s sports titles and an innumerable number of un-
reported titles at the middle school, high school, and col-
legiate levels; 
Whereas, in 2018, at least 300 high school-aged boys in the 
United States ran the 400-meter dash faster than the 
most decorated female Olympic champion in the world 
has run it in her lifetime; 
Whereas Executive Order 14201 (90 Fed. Reg. 9279; relat-
ing to keeping men out of women’s sports) emphasizes 
opposition to male competitive participation in women’s

sports as ‘‘a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and
