Our Bodies, Our Sports: Keep Women's Sports FEMALE

THE FIGHT TO
SAVE WOMEN’S SPORTS

CALLING FEMALE ATHLETES
Tell the NCAA Board of Governors
Protect Women’s Collegiate Sports

If you are a current or former NCAA female athlete, please fill out the form below to send a private email to each member of the NCAA Board of Governors urging them to follow the lead of the NAIA and protect women’s collegiate sport and establish a new policy keeping women’s sports female.

*You must personalize the email in the form before you can send it — add your sport and school, include personal stories, and concerns about safety and privacy.

Competitive sport is a zero-sum game, where some athletes make the cut, others do not; someone wins, others lose. In a zero-sum competition, the inclusion of male-bodied athletes in women’s sport inevitably means FEMALES LOSE OUT.

Female athletes work our entire lives to compete in sports, only to have the NCAA destroy our
even playing field.

Competition Report

As the number of male-bodied athletes seeking to compete on women’s teams and in women’s events grows, the risks to female athletes also grow.

Claims to the contrary deny science, defy logic, and undermine Title IX.

Independent Women’s Law Center and Independent Women’s Forum synthesize the science and explain the changing legal landscape of American sports in the Second Edition of Competition: Title IX, Male-Bodied Athletes, and the Threat To Women’s Sports.
