Tulsi Gabbard Introduces Bill to Apply Title IX Protections Based on Biological Sex
“Title IX was a historic provision championed by Hawaii’s own Congresswoman Patsy Mink in order to provide equal opportunity for women and girls in high school and college sports," Gabbard said in a statement. "... However, Title IX is being weakened by some states who are misinterpreting Title IX, creating uncertainty, undue hardship and lost opportunities for female athletes. Our legislation protects Title IX’s original intent which was based on the general biological distinction between men and women athletes based on sex."
If passed, the new bill would make it a violation for institutions that receive federal funding to "permit a person whose biological sex at birth is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.”
“Title IX was designed to give women and girls an equal chance to succeed, including in sports. Allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports diminishes that equality and takes away from the original intent of Title IX," Mullin said. "As the father of three girls involved in athletics, I want them to be able to compete on a level playing field. I am proud to lead this bill that will safeguard the integrity of women’s sports and ensure female athletes can compete fairly."

4. Your obscurity can not come soon enough, Tulsi
You pipe up, while contributing nothing. I'm so reminded of Sarah Palin. We can only hope Gabbard's future trajectory is similarly forgettable.

9. Why the hell is she introducing anything with 22 days left in the current Congress?
She will no longer be a member of Congress on January 3rd.
Based on my reading of the House calendar, yesterday was the last day except for Jan 3 until noon that the House is in session.

24. Tulski, it takes some nerve for you to invoke Patsy Mink...
In her lifetime, Congresswoman Mink was many times the public servant Tulsi Gabbard will ever be.
