This proposal would require the U.S. military service academies to bar anyone whose sex is male from taking part in sports or athletic activities that are set aside for women or girls. It defines sex based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth .
It would still allow males to train or practice with women’s teams, but only if no female loses a roster spot, a chance to practice or compete, a scholarship, admission, or any other benefit tied to that sport or activity .
