A number of states across the nation have already passed laws to keep men out of women’s sports. However, The Fair Play Act - HB 1458 by State Rep. Valoree Swanson, that seeks to protect female athletic opportunities from being hijacked by biological males has yet to receive a hearing in the Texas House State Affairs Committee.
The support for protecting female athletic and scholarships opportunities is strong as HB 1458 has over 76 coauthors, indicating it has enough support to pass the 150 member Texas House!
We need you to contact the Texas House State Affairs Committee and let Chairman Chris Paddie (R – Marshall) know that you want this important bill to have a hearing and move forward quickly in the Texas House.
Please email and call Chairman Paddie and politely encourage him to schedule HB 1458 for a hearing: [email protected] (512) 463-0556
Allowing males to compete in women’s sports destroys fair competition and women’s athletic opportunities. Unfortunately, a growing trend of allowing biological males to compete in women’s sporting events is being accelerated by the Biden Administration’s unprecedented promotion of transgender ideology. Even in Texas, a biological male identifying as a female dominated the Texas Relays only a few years ago.
It is important that the Texas House State Affairs committee set a hearing on HB 1458 as soon as possible, so they can hear from you and most importantly pass a bill that saves women’s sports.
SAMPLE EMAIL MESSAGE TO CHAIRMAN PADDIE:
I am very concerned about the growing trend of biological males competing in high school and college athletics and stealing championships, trophies, and scholarships from female athletes. Many states have already solved this problem by passing legislation to keep sports participation based on biological sex. It is time for Texas to take action and address this issue.
Please schedule The Fair Play Act, HB 1458 by Representative Valoree Swanson, for a public hearing in State Affairs immediately. As a concerned Texan, I want my voice to be heard on this issue, and I also want this bill to pass this legislative session. The bill has strong support in the Texas House with more than 76 coauthors.
Please stand up for girls all across Texas and schedule a hearing for HB 1458 immediately! Thank you for your service to our state.
