This proposal says that school sports teams for women and girls must be limited to people whose sex at birth is female. It ties this rule to the federal law that bans sex discrimination in schools that get federal money (Title IX). It defines sex based only on reproductive biology and genetics at birth, and says letting someone whose sex at birth is male play on a girls’ or women’s team would break that law .
