The bill would make it a violation of Title IX, the federal law against sex discrimination in federally funded education, for schools and colleges to let students whose sex at birth was male take part in athletic programs designated for women or girls.^2,3 For this purpose, sex would be based only on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.³ Male students could still train or practice with women's or girls' teams if doing so does not take opportunities or benefits away from female students.³ An amendment adopted before passage would also require the Government Accountability Office to report on benefits of single-sex sports that girls would lose from male participation, including negative psychological, developmental and social effects.³
