Megan Rapinoe was reportedly among 40 female athletes who signed a letter. It was about opposing a U.S. House bill that would protect women and girls from having to compete against male athletes who identify as female.
The Republican-backed the ‘Protection of Girls and Women in Sports Act’ otherwise known as HR 734 which, “generally prohibits school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs that are for women or girls,” according to reports. Although President Joe Biden’s administration proposed guidelines that would eliminate state bans on male athletes competing against girls and women in school sports.
Signatories of the letter, organized by LGBT activist group Athlete Ally, reportedly include Rapinoe’s fellow U.S. National Women’s Soccer Team member Becky Sauerbrunn and retired WNBA star Sue Bird. In the letter, the female athletes claimed the bill “does not protect women in sports” since it would exclude women and girls from receiving “mental and physical health benefits.”
The letter signed by the LGBTQ community said, “We believe that gender equity in sport is critical, which is why we urge policymakers to turn their attention and effort to the causes women athletes have been fighting for decades, including equal pay, an end to abuse and mistreatment, uneven implementation of Title IX. And a lack of access and equity for girls of color and girls with disabilities, to name only a few. Our deepest hope is that transgender and intersex kids will never have to feel the isolation, exclusion, and othering that H.R. 734 is seeking to enshrine into law.”
