Georgia committee protecting women's sports to soon start work

The move follows a push from President Joe Biden's administration to expand Title IX.

United States' Napheesa Collier and Marine Fauthoux , of France, go after a loose ball during a women's gold medal basketball game at Bercy Arena at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Sunday, Aug. 11, 2024, in Paris, France.

The Senate Special Committee on the Protection of Women's Sports will hold its first hearing later this month. The committee, which Republican Lt. Governor Burt Jones announced this month, will continue its work until Dec. 15. Of the eight state senators on the committee, all but two are Republicans. Critics have denounced the change as dangerous to women, saying males identifying as females could use girls' bathrooms and locker rooms. Additionally, the new rule would have required schools receiving federal funding to accommodate students' and teachers' "gender identity" and mandated that students and teachers use others' "preferred pronouns."
