This Senate resolution designates October 10, 2025, as "American Girls in Sports Day." It lists reasons for the designation, including that sports help young girls' physical health, self-confidence, and discipline; that women have achieved important athletic feats and inspired later generations; and that Title IX was a pivotal moment for girls in sports. The resolution also states concerns about biological differences between men and women, says there has been an increase in biological men allowed to compete in women's sports, and cites reported instances where biological men displaced women from championships and records. The resolution notes that the NAIA has adopted rules to limit participation to students whose biological sex is female. The resolution resolves that the Senate: (1) recognizes October 10, 2025, as "American Girls in Sports Day"; (2) celebrates women's impact on U.S. sports culture and history; (3) recognizes the importance of Title IX in protecting biological women in sports; and (4) calls on sports-governing bodies to protect biological women and girls in sports.
The resolution names a day to honor girls and women in sports and expresses the Senate's views on protecting opportunities for biological women and girls in athletics. It encourages sports-governing bodies to take actions the resolution describes but does not itself change rules for competitions.
