Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) announced a bill that would prohibit transgender individuals from competing in Olympic and amateur sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I introduced the Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act to prohibit any governing body recognized by @TeamUSA from allowing biological men to participate in ANY athletic event intended for women,\u201d Steube announced on X. \u201cWith groups like @USABoxing adopting insane transgender policies, this legislation would protect women and prevent delusional organizations such as @usaboxing from being recognized by the U.S. Olympic committee.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a press release for the bill, Steube said<\/a>, \u201cCongress should not have to take legislative action to prevent biological men from hitting women for championship titles. Due to the illogical USA Boxing transgender policy, I introduced legislation to prevent organizations who choose to live in delusion from being recognized by the U.S. Olympic committee. We must combat the erasure of women\u2019s sports by standing for truth, reality, safety, and fairness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bill is cosponsored by Reps. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Randy Weber (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), William Timmons (R-SC), Erin Houchin (R-IN), Neal Dunn (R-FL), Doug LaMalfa (R-CA), Brian Babin (R-TX), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Mike Bost (R-IL), and David Kustoff (R-TN).<\/p>\n

Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) introduced compensation legislation in the Senate.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen should not be competing in women\u2019s sports at ANY level,\u201d Tuberville wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s unsafe. It\u2019s unfair. And it\u2019s just plain wrong. Proud to be introducing this bill with @RepGregSteube so we can protect women\u2019s sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is deeply disturbing to see USA Boxing change its policy to allow men to box against women,\u201d Tuberville declared in a press release<\/a>. \u201cMen should not be competing in women\u2019s sports at any level\u2014and especially not in a sport like boxing. Whether in little league or the Olympics, it\u2019s unsafe, it\u2019s unfair, and it\u2019s just plain wrong. This bill will ensure that the Olympics are fair to American women who train their whole lives to represent our country on the world stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
