Rep. Mary Miller sponsored her first bill as a congresswoman when she introduced the Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act.

Miller crafted the bill to protect spaces for women and girls in schools.

“Democrats continue to push radical gender ideology on our children, and we must draw the line to protect women and girls,” Miller said.

“On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order to interpret Title IX as requiring schools to allow access to sex-segregated spaces and activities based on gender identity,” Miller said.

However, according to her, “Title IX was created to enhance opportunities for women, not threaten their safety.”

She also wants to clarify that “the definition of sex in Title IX means biological sex, not gender identity. My goal is to protect spaces like bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams for women like my five daughters, and so many others across the country.”

The bill which has 21 cosponsors including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, is also being supported by Heritage Action for America, Eagle Forum, and Concerned Women for America, according to Miller’s press release.

Taylor Greene said she is “proud to cosponsor Congresswoman Miller’s legislation to reverse this disgusting attack on women and girls.”
