In a recent statement, U.S. bishops expressed their disappointment following the Senate's failure to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. They described the proposed legislation as “commonsense” and emphasized its importance in ensuring fairness for female athletes across the nation. The bishops highlighted that the act would provide a level playing field by maintaining the integrity of women's sports, which they believe is essential for promoting equal opportunities for female competitors.

The bishops argued that allowing biological males to compete in women's sports undermines the hard work and dedication of female athletes. They called on lawmakers to prioritize the protection of women's rights in athletics, asserting that the legislation is crucial for the future of female sports. The bishops reiterated their commitment to advocating for policies that uphold the dignity and rights of women and girls, urging the Senate to reconsider and support the passage of this important bill.
