Contact Congress about S. 9: Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025

S.9 would make it a Title IX violation for any federally funded school to let someone born biologically male play on a girls' or women's sports team. Sex would be defined only by reproductive biology and genetics at birth.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 is a Senate bill stalled. The latest recorded action: Cloture on the motion to proceed to the measure not invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 51 - 45. Record Vote Number: 100. (CR S1455-1456).

Who this affects: This bill most directly affects transgender girls and women who currently play on female sports teams at schools receiving federal funds. It also affects schools and colleges that would need to change their eligibility policies, and all female athletes whose competitive landscape could shift.

Why this matters: Schools across the country currently follow a patchwork of state and local rules about who can play on which sports teams. This bill would replace that with one federal standard tied to federal funding — a powerful lever since virtually every public school and most colleges receive federal money.

Key provisions in S. 9

  • Amends Section 901 of the Education Amendments of 1972 — the foundational anti-discrimination provision of Title IX.
  • Makes it a federal violation for schools receiving federal money to let someone whose sex is male compete on a women's or girls' sports team.
  • Requires sex to be determined solely by a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth for this rule.
  • Covers any recipient of federal funds that runs, sponsors, or supports athletic programs or activities.
  • Does not create a new agency or funding — it changes the legal standard for Title IX compliance in athletics.
