Radical feminists, conservative activists, and Democratic political figures shared the stage with athletes, parents, coaches, and attorneys. The speakers agreed on one simple message: women and men are biologically different, and female athletes should not have to compete against males.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers at the \u201cOur Bodies, Our Sports\u201d rally included former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, the original sponsor of the Protect Women\u2019s Sports Act, and 12-time All-American swimmer Riley Gaines Barker, who tied with male transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in a meet but was forced to let him have the trophy for pictures. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a partisan issue,\u201d said New York Democrat congressional candidate Maud Maron. \u201cThere are Democrats and Republicans and Independents all across the political spectrum that agree with all of us here on the common-sense definitions of sex and understand that our kids have the right to a non-politicized joy of playing sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The day of the rally, the Department of Education announced proposed changes to Title IX regulations to \u201cstrengthen protections for LGBTQI+ students.\u201d According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/about\/offices\/list\/ocr\/docs\/t9nprm-factsheet.pdf\">fact sheet<\/a> accompanying the announcement, \u201cThe proposed regulations would clarify that Title IX\u2019s prohibition on discrimination based on sex applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity\u2026. The Department plans to issue a separate notice of proposed rulemaking to address whether and how the Department should amend the Title IX regulations to address students\u2019 eligibility to participate on a particular male or female athletics team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the speakers argued this proposed rule would lead to women and girls being denied the very opportunities Title IX was designed to protect. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not inclusion, this is misogyny,\u201d said Amanda Houdeschell, a member of the feminist nonprofit Women\u2019s Liberation Front. \u201cWomen fought hard for the protections of Title IX, the promise of equal opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of the speakers were athletes who had lost opportunities or placements in competition against male athletes who identified as transgender. <\/p>\n<p>While Cynthia Monteleone, a Team USA World Masters athlete, was speaking at the rally, the rest of her track team was traveling to Finland to compete in their first world championship meet since Covid lockdowns. The 400-meter world champion chose to boycott the event when she learned that a male athlete, whom she had run against previously, would be competing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a personal issue, it\u2019s a policy issue,\u201d Monteleone said in an interview with The Federalist. She continued, \u201cWhat\u2019s the value of a medal in a competition that\u2019s not fair?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Monteleone said she would advise young female athletes in the same situation to have courage to stand for what they believe in. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say, continue your passion for the sport, continue your love for the sport, and don\u2019t be afraid to stand up and ask questions,\u201d Monteleone said. She said this doesn\u2019t mean they should all have to boycott their races as she did. \u201cIf you want to compete, absolutely compete,\u201d she said. \u201cJust stand strong during the situation. Raise your voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Olivia Hajicek is an intern at The Federalist and a junior at Hillsdale College studying history and journalism.
