The letter comes as the conference faces controversy over a transgender athlete playing at San Jose State University on the women's volleyball team. Multiple teams in the conference have forfeited games over the controversy.
Congressional Republican leaders on Wednesday urged officials of the Mountain West Conference in a letter to prohibit biological male athletes who identify as women from competing on female sport teams.
The letter comes as the conference faces controversy over a transgender athlete playing at San Jose State University on the women's volleyball team. Multiple teams in the conference have forfeited games over the controversy.
The lawmakers, who are from both chambers of Congress, said they have "serious concerns" about the safety and fairness of allowing transgender athletes to play against biological women, according to Fox News.
"Title IX was established over 50 years ago to even the playing field for women," the 13 GOP lawmakers wrote.

Biden & U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona severely modified Title IX in April 2024 to allow male trannies to compete against women.

Easy solution.
They’re free to start their
own leagues and teams.
Though I don’t think they’ll
form a huge fan base.
He has his own bathroom in his office...like every other member of Congress. I’m glad they’re making a rule though. It should be throughout the USA...How these odd balls got to be privileged...beats me...because it takes away privacy rights from you and me.
I was taught at age 3 not to lie. I’m not going to lie by calling a him, a “her”.
Most of those institutions receive some funding from the Feds, don’t they? If so, cut them off until they end the DEI and trans nonsense/evil.
I’d like to see a few thousand acres be cleared in Los Angeles, have a massive mental institution built called the Land of Make Believe, round up all these gender freaks and let them roam freely under armed supervision until they discover reality.
Here’s another one which, I believe, is true. Not really fun, but interesting. Valerie Bertinelli.

Could it be that the colleges are waiting for congress to do their dirty work for them? Trump should demand the women take responsibility for the issue just like he’s demanding more from NATO.
F**k a letter. Prosecute them under Title IX. Millions in fines, etc. Let’s Go, Gaetz!
