A coalition of female athletes held a rally in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to protest the Biden administration’s rewrite of Title IX rules that added protections based on gender ideology and sexual orientation.

The Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) held a rally in Washington, D.C., as a part of Our Bodies, Our Sports’ “Take Back Title IX Summer 2024 Bus Tour.” The rally was one stop on the group’s month-long tour across the nation aimed to raise awareness about the threat the administration’s new rules have on women’s sports, according to Our Bodies, Our Sports.

Our Bodies, Our Sports also published a letter addressing the Biden administration and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona’s Title IX rewrite, demanding to protect women’s sports. The letter states the importance of privacy and safety in female sports.

The Biden administration’s Title IX rule change was intended to expand protections to include “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” The rule change was blocked in several Republican states earlier recently, and the administration has since appealed the rulings.
