The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 aims to prohibit individuals assigned male at birth from participating in women's and girls' athletic programs. However, this legislation undermines the rights and dignity of transgender individuals. Denying athletes the opportunity to compete according to their gender identity promotes discrimination and erasure of an already marginalized group. Furthermore, research shows that inclusive policies for transgender athletes pose no threat to the integrity of women's sports. This bill perpetuates harmful stereotypes and fails to create a more equitable society. I urge you to vote against this discriminatory measure and uphold the principles of equality and human rights for all.
