Protection of women and girls under sports law is scheduled to vote in the US Senate on Monday. The bill would set a stronger federal precedent for keeping trans athletes away from women and girls' sports as it violates President Donald Trump's recent executive order to address the issue.
But despite the Republican majority in the Senate, the bill still needs support from seven Democrats to defeat the filibuster and reach the president's desk. In the House, all but two Democrats voted against the bill.
For female athletes across the country affected by transinclusion, they hope that more democratic senators will infiltrate from the party's general stance.
Former San Jose State volleyball player Brooke Slisser, who was at the heart of a widely publicized national debate in the fall after suing the NCAA for citing his experiences with schools, conferences and trans teammates, has called on those Democrats to consider the well-being of their daughters and other young female athletes around the country.

“Do they have children? Do they want their daughter to swing a crazy ball straight in her face when they were kids? Maybe even unconscious, they'll never be able to play sports again,” Thrusser told Fox News her message to those Democrats. “How do you want to think about it and fight for something that could hurt and end the careers of a young athlete? And overall, it's just not fair. I feel I can continue with them about it.
Slusser's lawsuit alleges that during the first season of 2023 he was made to share a swapping and sleeping space with trans teammate Blaire Fleming. After opposing trans-inclusion and attracting media attention nationwide, Slusser recently made the decision to leave the SJSU campus and leave the SJSU campus after facing threats and harassment from other students.
Still, she does not regret it because of activism that helps to encourage legislative change, including the protection of women and girls in sports law.
Meanwhile, fellow female athletes, Payton McNabb and Serena Seoul, went to the White House on Thursday to meet with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondy and several other state attorney generals across the country, sharing their stories and lobbying for the national expulsion of girls and girls' sports trans athletes.
Soule is a former high school athletics athlete, four times national qualifier, and was kicked out of the regional championships for two trans athletes taking the women's spots, losing a chance to attract attention from college scouts and potential scholarships for those snubs. It was the resultant turning point in her life that put her on the path to activism. She first began oppose trans-inclusion in the local media in 2018.

Selina Saul is a former high school athletics athlete who was four national qualifiers, and was kicked out of the regional championships for trans athletes taking the women's spot.
“I tell all the senators who are not sure about this bill to think about your daughter and think about your nie or your granddaughter. Do you want to be forced into a situation where they have to compete with someone who is physically superior? Saul asked.
“If you say no to any of them, then vote for this bill to protect women and girls.”
According to various data, a former volleyball player who received spikes on his head by a transgender player at the age of 17, who caused brain trauma and neck injuries, wants to remind Democrats that most Americans oppose trans inclusion when they were 17, who caused brain trauma and neck injuries.
“Now, the majority of America agrees with this and many Democrats agree, so it's time to vote and stand up for these basic rights that women and they deserve, but I don't understand why they don't vote for it. “Think about your daughter and think about every woman in your life.

McNabb and Soule hope that Thursday's conversation with the state attorney general will ultimately lead to conversations between the state's attorney general and the Democratic senator, and get enough votes to reach Trump's desk.
R-Tenn. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a well-known Republican leader of the group, hopes the bill will gain bipartisan support, she previously told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
“You'd think I'll be there, I hope it's there,” she said.
“A lot of my friends, who are Democrats, will tell you that Title IX is a thing, and that it's inappropriate for biological men to compete with women, and that they want opportunities for their daughters, nie or granddaughter.
recently New York Times/Ipsos Survey The vast majority of Americans, including the majority of Democrats, have discovered that they do not believe that trans athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sports.
