OPPOSITION TO H.R. 28, PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORTS ACT

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 18 (Tuesday, January 28, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 18 (Tuesday, January 28, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E74] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] OPPOSITION TO H.R. 28, PROTECTION OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SPORTS ACT ______ HON. AL GREEN of texas in the house of representatives Tuesday, January 28, 2025 Mr. GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, and still I rise. I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 28, the misnomered ``Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.'' Regrettably, without strong language banning demeaning, unclad body searches, this legislation will not prevent perverted personalities from developing reprehensible ``show me your private'' rules. This legislation requires that ``sex shall be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.'' However, it is sadly silent as to how that requirement shall be validated. As numerous women's and girls' rights organizations have noted, the lack of guidance in this legislation could lead schools to adopt intrusive and humiliating examination practices to verify students' sex. Due to the lack of protections against invasive examinations of students' private areas, I oppose this legislation. ____________________
