                     WOMEN'S SPORTS FOR WOMEN ONLY

  (Mr. FULCHER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, biological men should not be competing in 
women's athletics. This is a commonsense sentiment that most Americans 
agree with, especially back in my home State of Idaho.
  However, under the Biden administration, the integrity of women's and 
girls' sports has come under threat. In fact, just this last year, 
President Biden rolled out a regulation attempting to usurp States' 
ability to protect women and girls and make sure they have a safe and 
fair playing field in sports.
  That is why, this week, my House colleagues and I passed the 
Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. This bill 
strengthens Title IX protections to ensure the definition of an 
individual's gender in an athletic competition is based solely on their 
genetics at birth.
  Mr. Speaker, women's and girls' sports are for women and girls only. 
I proudly voted ``yes'' on this legislation and encourage my Senate 
colleagues to do the same.
