IV 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 769 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES October 10, 2023 Mrs. McClain (for herself, Ms. Foxx, and Mrs. Miller of Illinois) submitted the following resolution October 25, 2023 Referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of October 10, 2023, as Real Women’s Day.

Whereas, in 1972, Congress enacted Title IX in order to end unjust sex discrimination in education and provide women greater opportunity to participate in athletics, including college athletics; Whereas the Biden Administration proposed changes to Title IX that would allow biological men to play in women’s sports; Whereas there are fundamental biological differences between men and women, including the XX chromosomes for women and the XY chromosomes for men; Whereas these fundamental biological differences put women at a competitive disadvantage in sports; Whereas, in recent years more and more biological men have been allowed to compete in women’s sports; Whereas, between 2003 and 2022, biological men have won 28 women’s sports titles, including the 2019 national championship for bench press, the 100- and 200-meter high school New England Regional Championships in 2018, and the 500-yard Division I NCAA swimming championship in 2022; Whereas emotional pain, lost experiences, denied opportunities, and traumatized have been words used to describe the experience of biological women who have been forced to compete against biological men in sports; and Whereas October 10th is symbolized by the Roman numerals XX: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1)opposes forcing biological women and girls to compete against biological boys and men in girls’ and women’s sports; (2)opposes the weakening of Title IX protections; and (3)supports the designation of a “Real Women’s Day”.
