Tell Your Senator to Vote NO on S. 9

Send a strong message to your Senators today demanding that they protect trans and intersex youth, and address the real issues that impact our communities.

Recently, Senate members introduced S. 9, a bill that would rewrite Title IX – the national law protecting students against sex discrimination – to ban transgender and intersex girls and women from participating in sports at federally funded schools and universities. Academic research affirms that transgender women do not have any inherent advantage in sport and in fact may suffer from specific athletic disadvantages. S. 9 bill would prohibit transgender and intersex women and girls across the country from accessing the proven social, mental, and physical benefits of sport. This bill not only excludes kids from an important aspect of many youths’ educations, but makes them targets of hate and harassment by peers, educators, and parents. What this bill does not do is address any of the major problems girls and womens sports actually face, such as unequal access to athletic facilities and abuse from coaches.

Take 5 minutes to urge your Senator to vote NO on S. 9.
