Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025: Prohibits biological males from competing in women’s and girls’ sports in federally funded school athletic programs.
Prohibit biological males from competing in women’s and girls’ sports in federally funded school athletic programs.
Occurrences
Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 – introduced by Senator Tuberville
Evidence
The bill summary says it generally prohibits school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs for women or girls. Congress.gov lists the latest action as a failed cloture vote on 2025-03-03 and still shows the bill status as Introduced.
Justice said he would keep fighting for female athletes and the page states that he joined Senator Tuberville’s Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act of 2025.
Assessments
The promised federal policy has not been enacted. Justice joined and advocated for S.9, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, which matches the promise by seeking to bar federally funded school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in women’s or girls’ programs. But the bill remains introduced/stalled after a failed Senate cloture vote on March 3, 2025, and there is no evidence that the promised prohibition became federal law or binding federal policy. Because Justice made a serious legislative/advocacy effort but the outcome was not delivered, this is a failed promise with an effort badge.
