Tuberville Moves To Protect Women’s Olympic Sports From Biological Males

Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville will reintroduce a bill Wednesday aimed at protecting women’s Olympic Sports from men who identify as transgender females, The Daily Wire can first report.

Tuberville’s Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act would prohibit any governing bodies recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) from permitting men to compete in athletic events intended for women, modifying eligibility requirements for amateur sports governing organizations.

It comes on National Girls and Women in Sports Day — the same day President Donald Trump will sign an executive order banning men from competing in women’s sports. The president will sign an executive order at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday at the White House, The Daily Wire first reported Tuesday.

“Men should not be competing in women’s sports at any level,” Tuberville told The Daily Wire. “We were all deeply disturbed last summer to see videos of men boxing against women in the Olympics. This is not only dangerous but it is incredibly unfair to the young women who have trained their whole lives to compete.”

“Whether in little league or the Olympics, it’s unsafe, it’s unfair, and it’s just plain wrong,” he added. “I am proud to introduce this bill and hope to see it signed into law long before the United States hosts the 2028 Summer Olympics so we can all enjoy watching safe, fair competition.”

Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) introduced a House version of the bill, arguing that it is “more important than ever that we stand up for common sense by prohibiting biological males from competing in female athletics.”
