As the Biden administration comes to an end, a parents group urges Congress to establish 'American Girls in Sports Day'.

The Biden administration has been pushing executive policies for four years that allow biological males to use female spaces. In response, Parents Defending Education Action (PDE) is urging Congress to address violence against women in athletics and is calling on the NCAA to revoke its transgender policy and declare Oct. 10 "American Girls in Sports Day."

A bill and two resolutions have been introduced by Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn, proposing measures.

Nicole Neily, president of PDE, described the Biden administration's handling of girls' sports as "appalling" in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital.

"She stated, "Let's consider the original purpose of Title IX, which was to safeguard and guarantee that women were not being denied opportunities due to their gender. However, we are now observing the opposite, as girls' gender is being used against them. This contradicts the entire aim of the law.""

Neily stated that marking an American Girls in Sports day would "celebrate the efforts and sacrifices made to achieve equality, only to have it taken away by the Biden administration, which disregards the true meaning of the word 'woman'."

Although President Trump has returned to the White House this week, Neily emphasized the urgency of Congress taking immediate action.

""Congress must address these issues to ensure they are codified and locked in," she emphasized."

"Title IX, which was part of the education amendments and ratified in 1972, has been weaponized and interpreted by administrative agencies in recent years. Despite being only 37 words, Democrats are now reinterpreting one simple word 'sex' to include sexual orientation and gender identity, which is not what was intended."

Blackburn introduced the measures in the Senate earlier this month.

The "Fair Play for Girls Act" bill would require the U.S. attorney general to submit an analysis of violence against women in sports to Congress, including impediments to fair and safe competition for biological female athletes, the prevalence of girls losing female sports opportunities to biological males, and the prevalence of sexual harassment and abuse of women and girls in athletics.

Blackburn proposed a new resolution that urges the NCAA, which oversees intercollegiate sports for over a thousand universities nationwide, to abolish its policy permitting transgender athletes to participate in sports of the opposite sex and to adhere to a biological sex-based policy in all sports.

The "American Girls in Sports Day" resolution would designate Oct. 10 as a day to commemorate the achievements of female athletes.

Riley Gaines, Caitlyn Jenner, the Independent Women's Forum, and other notable individuals have also endorsed Blackburn's measures in addition to PDE.

Neily believes that bipartisan support is necessary for measures that protect vulnerable girls and recognize their achievements.

"Over the past few years, videos of women in sports being physically injured have been widely seen, whether it's from a volleyball being spiked into their face or a field hockey ball being whipped at someone," she stated.

"Significant biological differences exist between men and women, as exemplified by lacrosse. Male lacrosse players throw the ball at an average speed of 85 to 95 miles per hour and wear protective gear due to the risk of injury. In contrast, female lacrosse players throw the ball at an average speed of 45 to 65 miles per hour without protective gear. Therefore, if a biological male with the necessary muscle mass and bone structure throws the ball at a girl and it hits her, there is a real risk of severe bodily injury or death."

She stated that all this limits girls' chances to fairly compete.

"Over my life, I have known many college athletes who have spent thousands of hours to become D1, D2, or D3 athletes. These students have sacrificed much and worked hard to reach this elite position in colleges and universities. To have a spot on a team or a scholarship opportunity taken away from them by someone who is deemed faster due to biology is a real slap in the face to these girls who have given up so much."
