A recent study reviewed decades of data & found trans women who've transitioned have NO clear biological advantage over cis women.
Trans people belong! @usedgov must revise their proposed Title IX policy to allow trans athletes to fully participate in alignment with their gender

As noted in our letter to @POTUS:
- trans "inclusion" policies—like the current Title IX proposal—can actually restrict trans athletes' participation based on prejudices that aren't evidence-based
- trans athletes are UNDER-REPRESENTED in sports & face widespread discrimination

Current science supports our recommendations:
- Policies must begin by acknowledging that trans athletes belong in sports matching their gender
- If there are restrictions (e.g. medical transition), there must be a clear pathway for participation—for all sports, at all levels
