I am writing to voice my opposition to HR 28, the so-called "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025." This bill does nothing to address any of the real concerns that women and girls face in sports. Instead, this bill targets a small group of transgender youth for unfair treatment, excluding them from vital aspects of education and exposing them to increased harassment. Young people of all backgrounds deserve access to the proven social, mental, and physical benefits of sport. To truly support girls and women in sports, lawmakers must address continued inequality in funding and facilities compared to men's sports and the rampant sexual abuse targeting athletes of all genders.
