I’m a runner and I know the race to save women’s sports has started off great

As a runner, I'm thrilled federal officials are finally racing to save women's sports. The Trump administration, courts and Congress are all stepping up to stop the Biden initiatives.

Why do I describe these efforts as a race? Because every day we delay in making this right means another competition, somewhere, where a girl or woman athlete could be losing to a man.  Chelsea Mitchell is a senior in college represented by Alliance Defending Freedom (@ADFLegal). 

Step Two: On Jan. 14, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would prevent schools accepting federal funding from allowing male athletes to compete in women’s sports ... or ris losing that funding.  Step Three: On Jan. 31, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced it now expects schools to stick with the earlier 2020 Title IX Rule, which honors the original intent of that law by defining sex according to biology, not gender identity.  Step Four: On Feb. 5, the Trump administration took a strong and crucial step toward restoring women’s sports to women with his latest executive order directing federal officials to prohibit male athletes from competing in women’s sports or entering women’s locker rooms.  And, the next day, the NCAA — finally — changed its policy on this and now only allows women to compete in women’s categories, another stride toward achieving fairness for female athletes.
