•     "Right now, transgender and intersex human rights are under attack, with politicians in Washington D.C. pushing forward H.R. 734, the so-called Protection of Girls and Women in Sports Act, which would stipulate that Title IX compliance requires banning transgender and intersex girls and women from participating in sports. If this bill passes, transgender and intersex girls and women throughout the country will be forced to sit on the sidelines, away from their peers and their communities. This will deter girls from participating in sports and create additional barriers. Denying children access to a place where they can gain significant mental and physical health benefits, and learn lifelong lessons that come from being part of a team and working hard towards your goals does not protect women in sports."

•     "These types of sports bans subject women and girls to accusations of being too masculine or too good at their sport to be a real woman or girl. Some require women and girls to verify their gender through sex testing, like invasive and traumatic medical examinations. To be clear, there are numerous examples of actual sex discrimination against girls and women in sports - including fewer athletic opportunities, second-class facilities and equipment, sexual abuse by coaches, doctors, and other students, pay inequities in sports for professional athletes, or insufficient implementation of Title IX. But sports bans are not addressing these real problems."
