Female athletes need our support now more than ever.                                                                                                  
Dear Friend,
Today, as we get ready to celebrate the end of the Tokyo Olympics, we should also remember how much we still must do to protect female athletes and ensure a fair playing field for women and girls.

Women have been allowed to compete in the Olympics for a little over 100 years. But it wasn’t until recently, until the 2012 Olympics, that women were able to compete in all events.

It’s been 50 years since Congress passed Title IX to expand opportunities for women and girls in education, including school athletics. Since then, there has been a 545% increase in women playing college sports and a 990% increase in young women playing high school sports.

This explosion in female participation is due in large part to the creation of separate single-sex teams for athletes.

Allowing biological males to take the place of women on sports teams would end up diminishing nearly 50 years of significant progress for women’s sports in America.

It puts women at a disadvantage and denies them the right to compete on a level playing field. What’s more, it destroys equal opportunities for women.

No matter how the “Woke Left” and “PC Police” try to spin things, the vast majority of biological males have an unfair physical and physiological advantage competing against biological females.

Even the fastest female sprinter in the world, Allyson Felix—a woman with more gold medals than Usain Bolt—would have her lifetime best in the 400-meter run beaten by nearly 300 high school boys, just in the United States alone.

It’s simply unfair. As a father, I want my daughter—and all women and girls for that matter—to have every chance to achieve success on the field and off the field. This is something we must all fight for.

Make no mistake: The efforts that some people are making in this area are nothing short of an all-out assault to end women’s sports. It is an unacceptable affront to women and girls everywhere, and demands our own best efforts to combat it.
