Congressman Meuser Supports Resolution to Protect Women’s Sports

Washington D.C. – Today, Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) voted in favor of H.J.Res. 165, which aims to overturn the Biden Administration’s unacceptable changes to Title IX.

Title IX has been instrumental in ensuring women and girls have equal opportunities to thrive in education and athletics for over half a century. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration's attempt to undermine these essential protections comes as a result of their ideological approach to advancing their progressive agenda. This Administration’s changes negate the intent of Title IX, which has been a success for the past fifty years. 

The Biden Administration’s rule expands the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity,” meaning biological males could enter women’s and girls’ private spaces, including bathrooms and locker rooms, and compete in women’s sports.

H.J. Res. 165 would block the Biden Administration’s damaging Title IX rewrite, ensuring women and girls feel safe in school and have equal access to opportunities in the classroom and on the athletic field.

Congressman Meuser said, “Allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports jeopardizes both the fairness and safety of female athletics. The Biden Administration's ideology of appeasement prioritizes radical activists over female athletes. It neglects their rights and instead leaves them vulnerable and sidelined, rather than providing the necessary support and protections for their success. Women’s and girls’ right to participate fully and fairly in sports should never be compromised, which is why I supported H.J.Res. 165.”

H.J.Res. 165 passed the House by a vote of 210-205.
