The White House has expressed its support for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a legislative proposal by U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama. This bill aims to make permanent President Trump’s recent executive order titled “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports.”
In a statement, the administration emphasized: “The Administration strongly supports passage of S. 9, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. Through an amendment to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, this bill would expressly recognize what is already federal law—that it is an illegal act of discrimination for a man to participate in a federally funded athletic program or activity designated for women or girls.”
The proposed legislation seeks to clarify that “sex,” as referenced in legal terms, pertains exclusively to reproductive biology and genetics. The statement further noted: “Men participating in women’s sports not only is demeaning and dangerous to women and girls, but it erodes the integrity of our Nation’s civil rights laws.”
The Senate is scheduled to vote on Senator Tuberville’s legislation this evening.
Senator Tommy Tuberville serves Alabama in the United States Senate and participates on several committees including Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP (Health, Education, Labor & Pensions), and Aging.
