Fairness for Female Athletes
We’re working to preserve opportunities, safety, and privacy for women and girls in sports—consistent with Title IX.
Why It Matters
For generations, women fought for the chance to compete, to be seen, and to win on fair terms. Those hard-won opportunities deserve protection. Women’s and girls' sports should remain spaces where female athletes can compete safely, fairly, and with dignity.

“From the beginning, this has been about protecting opportunities for girls and women in sports. As a former Division I athlete and coach, I know firsthand that we simply cannot compete against the inherent physiological and scientifically proven advantages that boys and men possess.”
REP. BARBARA EHARDT
Bill Sponsor of Fairness in Women’s Sports Act
WHAT IS TITLE IX?
Title IX ensures that no one can be denied equal access to educational opportunities on the basis of sex. It played a significant role in giving girls competitive sports.
Imagine a world where Simone Biles or Katie Ledecky were relegated to a recreation-only team, or a competitive team with far less opportunity than the comparable men’s team. Before the creation of Title IX, that was the world in which many women lived. Even for talented athletes, as women, they wouldn’t have the same opportunities given male athletes at school. Their teams might lack funding, they might be relegated to a recreation-only team, or sometimes they might not even have a girls’ team on which to play. With the dawn of Title IX, women could finally compete on a level playing field against other women, with similar opportunities as men.
Then and Now
Historically, Title IX has been used — by the ACLU itself — to advance women’s opportunities. Now, the ACLU, with its lawsuit, wants to exploit Title IX to let biological men steal those very opportunities. That’s not fair, and it’s why we’re calling on you to help us #SaveGirlsSports.
