Thank you for taking a principled stand by voting against S.9, the deceptively titled "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act." This harmful legislation would have done nothing to protect the rights of girls and women, and instead would have enabled discrimination, harassment, and invasive examinations of any athlete who does not conform to regressive gender stereotypes. Your vote upholds the dignity and equal treatment of all Americans, including transgender and intersex individuals. Opposing this legislation aligns with our nation's values of inclusion and equal opportunity. I am grateful for your commitment to safeguarding civil rights and rejecting bigoted attacks on vulnerable communities.
