•HRES 1223 IH 
Whereas the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amend-
ments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) (referred to in 
this preamble as ‘‘Title IX’’) marked a pivotal moment 
in the Federal support of girls in sports; 
Whereas Title IX is under attack by the Biden Administra-
tion, which is moving to remove protections for biological 
women and girls in sports; 
Whereas there are fundamental biological differences between 
men and women that put women at a competitive dis-
advantage in sports and jeopardize their safety during 
competition; 
Whereas, in recent years, there has been an increase in the 
number of biological men allowed to compete in women’s 
sports; 
Whereas, since 2003, biological men have displaced women 
and girls from over 950 championship titles, medals, 
scholarships, and records they should have rightfully won, 
including at least 28 women’s sports titles in volleyball, 
swimming, 
mountain 
biking, 
track 
and 
field, 
weightlifting, and cycling; 
Whereas the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 
(NAIA) has instituted new policies to protect biological 
girls in sports and ensure that only student athletes 
whose biological sex is female will be allowed to compete 
in NAIA-sponsored women’s sports teams; 
Whereas it is imperative that women’s and girl’s opportuni-
ties to compete athletically are protected; and 
Whereas October 10th, as represented by the Roman numer-
als ‘‘XX’’, signifies the female XX chromosomes: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
