House Republican Policy Chairman Kevin Hern has expressed his views following the passage of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 by the U.S. House. The act, which aims to address participation in women's sports, has sparked debate among lawmakers.

In a statement, Rep. Hern said, "Biological men don’t belong in women’s sports – it’s just a fact." He criticized the decision of 203 Democrats who voted against the legislation, stating they chose not to support fairness and protection for female athletes.

Rep. Hern also highlighted his role as a cosponsor of the bill and emphasized his commitment to advocating for female athletes: "I am proud to be a cosponsor of this critical legislation to protect female athletes – we will not give up the fight!"

The passage of this act marks a significant moment in ongoing discussions about gender and sports participation.
