XX-XY Athletics Launches NIL Program for Women

The Independent Women's Forum has revived a campaign urging NCAA female athletes to contact the NCAA Board of Governors, advocating for keeping women's sports exclusive to biological females. This initiative follows NCAA President Charlie Baker's testimony to the U.S. Senate, where he faced questions regarding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports, asserting that no federal law mandates this inclusion. Meanwhile, XX-XY Athletics has launched a unique name, image, and likeness (NIL) program named GXME CHXNGERs, aimed at supporting female athletes opposing the participation of transgender individuals in women's sports. Several athletes, including those involved in a lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference for its transgender policy, are participating in the program, which seeks to amplify their voices and protect women's sports. The initiatives reflect growing tensions and activism surrounding transgender participation in athletics, particularly within women's sports. Both campaigns aim to influence policy and create a supportive environment for female athletes committed to this cause.
