States Are Taking Action To Protect Women’s Sports
The Equality Act, which passed in the House at the end of February, aims to amend federal civil rights law to prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ individuals in a range of areas, including housing, employment, and public schools. Ironically, the so-called Equality Act will lead to great inequality for many other groups of people — especially women.
In its negation of biological sex, the Equality Act will place women’s sports in great jeopardy by allowing biological males who identify as females to compete in female sporting events. Injustice will abound on the playing field if transgender athletes are given free reign to compete in the category of their choosing. Imagine allowing a biologically male wrestler to compete against a biologically female wrestler simply because he identifies as a female athlete.
