RES. 769 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 10, 2023 Mrs. McClain (for herself, Ms. Foxx , and Mrs. Miller of Illinois ) submitted the following resolution October 25, 2023 Referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of October 10, 2023, as Real Women’s Day .

Whereas, in 1972, Congress enacted Title IX in order to end unjust sex discrimination in education and provide women greater opportunity to participate in athletics, including college athletics; Whereas the Biden Administration proposed changes to Title IX that would allow biological men to play in women’s sports; Whereas there are fundamental biological differences between men and women, including the XX chromosomes for women and the XY chromosomes for men; Whereas these fundamental biological differences put women at a competitive disadvantage in sports; Whereas, in recent years more and more biological men have been allowed to compete in women’s sports; Whereas, between 2003 and 2022, biological men have won 28 women’s sports titles, including the 2019 national championship for bench press, the 100- and 200-meter high school New England Regional Championships in 2018, and the 500-yard Division I NCAA swimming championship in 2022; Whereas emotional pain , lost experiences , denied opportunities , and traumatized have been words used to describe the experience of biological women who have been forced to compete against biological men in sports; and Whereas October 10th is symbolized by the Roman numerals XX : Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) opposes forcing biological women and girls to compete against biological boys and men in girls’ and women’s sports; (2) opposes the weakening of Title IX protections; and (3) supports the designation of a “Real Women’s Day”.
