Initiative Measure IL26-638
Argument for
Vote yes to protect fairness in girls’ sports.
Female athletes deserve fair opportunities to build
confidence, develop skills, and pursue goals. Let’s protect
those opportunities and affirm the hard-fought rights
established through Title IX in 1972, which expanded athletic
access for women by recognizing the necessity of the female
category. Washington currently allows males to compete
against girls, undermining opportunities generations before
them fought to secure.
Approving IL26-638 would align Washington with world
sports policies.
Federal law, the Women’s Tennis Association, World
Athletics, and the International Olympic Committee have all
adopted policies to protect eligibility for the female category.
In March 2026, the IOC president stated, “It is absolutely
clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete
in the female category.”
Voting yes gives all students the opportunity to
participate in interscholastic sports.
Medical clearance is already required to participate safely.
Students would compete in the category that aligns with
their sex, verified during routine, medically necessary primary
care recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
During a private, consented visit, a licensed medical
professional would verify sex based on the student’s birth
records, medical history and/or a standard, non-invasive
physical examination.
Washington can respect every student while recognizing
that sex-based athletic categories are necessary.
A female athlete should not lose a starting position, medal,
championship, or college recruiting opportunity because the
category created for her was not protected.
