Thompson Statement on H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Glenn “GT” Thompson today issued this statement following the passage of H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023:
 
“For more than 50 years, Title IX has increased athletic opportunities for females by more than 1,000 percent at the high school level and 614 percent at the postsecondary level. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 protects this progress and puts female athletes first. Women and girls deserve to compete on a level playing field and have their right to privacy remain intact. I was proud to support today’s vote and reaffirm my continued commitment to America’s female athletes.
