ICYMI: Tuberville in OutKick: Defending and Protecting Women and Girls’ Sports

“Congress needs to act on this to make sure the next Democrat administration can’t take the same steps to destroy Title IX that the Biden administration took” WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) penned an op-ed in OutKick urging the Senate to pass his legislation to make President Trump’s Executive Order protecting women’s sports permanent. Sen. Tuberville has introduced two pieces of legislation this Congress that would preserve Title IX protections for female athletes: the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act . He attended the signing of the Executive Order at the White House, where President Trump shouted out Sen. Tuberville for the work he’s done to champion women’s sports both in Congress and throughout his coaching career. Read excerpts from the piece below or here . “Nov. 5, 2024, is the day the American people sent shockwaves to the swamp in D.C. when they overwhelmingly reelected Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. Seventy-seven million Americans voted for President Trump and his ‘America First’ agenda. A critical part of the agenda includes prioritizing the safety of women and girls in sports and protecting their privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms. Since the beginning of time, people have agreed that sex is assigned at birth and determined by God. But under the Biden administration, people were claiming that men can get pregnant. Pure insanity. Democrats weren’t content to just erase gender norms, they wanted to allow transgender men to participate in women’s and girls’ sports. As a result, young women have been forced to compete against men – and even to share locker rooms with them. On top of that, American taxpayer dollars are paying for it. Under Joe Biden, 900 women’s medals went to men. That’s just wrong. This one is personal for me. My first coaching job was in women’s basketball. Title IX was just starting to be implemented when I took that job. I saw firsthand the immediate difference it made. Back then, there were more than 10 times as many male athletes in college as female athletes. After Title IX that quickly changed. […] Recently, President Trump signed an Executive Order ending Democrats’ intentional destruction of Title IX. He is 100% committed to saving women’s sports . I’m very thankful for his leadership on this. The Executive Order makes sure women’s sports are protected for at least the next 4 years. But unfortunately, Executive Orders can be reversed. Congress needs to act on this to make sure the next Democrat administration can’t take the same steps to destroy Title IX that the Biden administration took. I introduced a bill, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, that would make President Trump’s Executive Order permanent. My bill prevents a school from receiving federal funding if it lets boys compete in women’s sports. It also defines gender as male and female for this purpose. My bill already passed the House on a bipartisan basis. I’m grateful that 38 of my colleagues, along with every member of Senate Republican Leadership, have cosponsored this important legislation. We have a lot to accomplish in the first 100 days of the Trump administration, and my bill should be a part of it. Leader John Thune has assured me he will bring it up for a vote in the Senate soon.” MORE: Tuberville Thanks President Trump for Signing Executive Order Protecting Women’s Sports, Urges Senate to Bring Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act to the Floor for a Vote Tuberville Takes Action to Protect Women’s Olympic Sports in Honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day ICYMI: Tuberville Joins “The Megyn Kelly Show” to Advocate for Senate Leadership to Schedule Title IX Legislation for a Vote ICYMI: Tuberville in OutKick: Senate to Consider My Bill, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act Tuberville Introduces Hallmark Legislation to Preserve Title IX, Protect Women’s Sports ICYMI: Tuberville Joins Harris Faulkner on Fox News to Discuss Title IX, Save Women’s Sports Tuberville Leads Colleagues in Fight to Save Title IX, Women’s Sports Tuberville, Blackburn Urge NCAA President to Keep Men Out of Women’s Sports The Globalist-Left’s Assault on Female Athletics Tuberville Sponsors Resolution to Overturn Biden’s Attack on Title IX, Save Women’s Sports Tuberville Takes Action to Recognize October 10 th as ‘American Girls in Sports Day’ Tuberville Demands Answers on Biden Administration’s Radical Rewrite of Title IX ICYMI: Tuberville Joins Lou Holtz: There’s an Attack on Title IX ICYMI: Tuberville on Newsmax: Democrats are Trying to Destroy Women’s Sports, Title IX Tuberville Leads Roundtable on Protecting Title IX and Saving Women’s Sports ICYMI: Tuberville Hosts Roundtable About Saving Women’s Sports What Democrats’ Vote Against Women Reveals About the Future of Sports Tuberville Forces Senate Vote to Protect Women’s Sports Tuberville Demands Answers from NCAA, Dept of Ed on Title IX Tuberville Introduces Legislation to Prohibit Men from Competing in Women’s Olympic Sports Senator Tuberville joins Fox and Friends to discuss the 50th Anniversary of Inflation and Title IX Tuberville Calls for Fairness in Women’s Sports Ahead of 50 th Anniversary of Title IX, Senator Tuberville Warns Biden Admin is Hacking Away at Women’s Progress Senator Tuberville: Biden Title IX Modifications Will Destroy ‘Opportunities For Generations Of Women And Girls’ Biden executive order will ruin women’s sports and erode Title IX Dr. Ben Carson, Sen.
