Sey: Our daughters are counting on us to stand up for Title IX

By Jennifer Sey | Commentary, Outkick Not one currently competing female star has spoken up to defend the very category that made their success possible. This is the moment we get real about standing up for women and girls. Even though Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledged in April that it was "deeply unfair" for boys to compete in girls’ sports, the California Department of Education (CDE) and California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) have continued to allow males to compete — and win — in women’s sports.  At the California CIF Championships in June, a male athlete swept gold in the high jump and triple jump and took silver in the long jump, displacing female athletes.

This was predicated on the commonsense truth that men and women are biologically different, and without sex-based categories in sports, girls and women would never have the opportunity to compete on an equal playing field. Title IX changed the game for young women, unleashing opportunities for them that had never existed. As of 1972 there were about 300,000 women and girls playing college and high school sports in the U.S. Female ...
