Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan write in a joint op-ed that women's athletic opportunities are in jeopardy underscored by the Biden administration's Title IX rules.
Fifty years ago, pioneering women and men fought for Title IX’s passage. They knew their efforts would pay off by giving girls and women like us opportunities our mothers and grandmothers didn’t have. The results have been profound. An entire youth sports ecosystem for girls has blossomed, giving countless females the same chance to develop skills critical to achieving equality in the workplace with their male counterparts.
As former collegiate swimmers, we know achievement does not happen by accident. It takes work, dedication, perseverance and sacrifices. We learned this as little girls, waking up at 4:30 a.m. to go to swim practice and then returning to the pool that afternoon to keep working to master our craft. We learned this in the recruiting process, where we each earned a place on the swim teams of our dream schools where we could continue pursuing our dreams on a higher level.
It is precisely this form of unfairness — lack of equal opportunity — that Title IX was passed to address. And yet the proponents of the new rule are perfectly happy taking opportunities from women and giving them to men. Sadly, the party that once took pride in advancing increased opportunities for women is now actively working to undermine these benefits in the name of 'inclusion.' In fact, all 51 Democrat U.S.
We’re not looking for sympathy with our stories, we’re looking for action. President Biden has proposed changing Title IX to allow men who identify as women to participate in and destroy the integrity of women’s sports. Not only is this widely unfair, it is discrimination on the basis of sex. Enough is enough. We were gifted Title IX by those who came before us, and we will fight relentlessly to gift it to the young girls who have dreams to win at an elite level like we once did.
