Amateur athletes would compete based on biological sex in Olympic and other sports.
This bill would change how amateur athletes compete in events like the Olympics. It would require national sports groups to make sure athletes only compete against others of their biological sex. The bill defines "sex" as a person's biological classification at conception. This means eligibility rules for many amateur athletes would be based on these new definitions.
Today, federal law does not require national sports organizations to set eligibility rules based on an athlete's biological sex for competitions. If this bill became law, these organizations would need to create rules requiring amateur athletes to compete only in events matching their biological sex, as defined by the bill. They would also have to continue sanctioning certain single-sex competitions approved in the last 10 years.
