Tiffany Smiley on Protecting Women's Sports and Title IX

Title IX and Fairness in Sports

• 💡 Tiffany Smiley discusses the perceived violation of Title IX by the Portland school district, highlighting concerns about biological males competing in women's sports.
• 🎯 She emphasizes that this issue is heartbreaking for recipients of Title IX, who fought hard for their opportunities.
• 📌 Smiley, a former OBGYN triage nurse, states there was never a third option for gender, and that current policies put children in a dangerous place by playing political games.

State Superintendent's Guidance

• ⚠️ In Washington state, the superintendent is reportedly advising school districts to ignore President Trump's executive orders banning biological males from girls' sports.
• 📉 Smiley believes the superintendent should focus on core education like reading, writing, and arithmetic, areas where the state is falling short.

Safety and Consequences

• 🤕 It's not just unfair; young girls are getting seriously hurt, as evidenced by a basketball game incident.
• 💰 Smiley notes that President Trump's stance brings back common sense, and extreme governors in states like Oregon and Washington face losing federal funding if they don't comply with laws protecting women's and girls' safety.

Public Opinion and Ballots

• 📊 Recent polling indicates that 63% of Americans believe sports should be based on biological sex, and 65% would support a ballot to keep biological males out of women's sports.
• ✅ Smiley concludes that protecting girls' safety and privacy is a fitting way to close out Women's History Month, urging continued advocacy and a focus on voting out those who oppose these measures.
