Fight for Equal pay for Women
and Women’s rights:

Bill Overview:

 

The Gender Pay Equity and Athletic Competition Act, with the short title "Gender Pay Equity and Athletic Competition Act," recognizes the ongoing gender wage gap, disparities in Social Security and pensions, and challenges faced by female athletes due to the participation of biological males in female sports. Its purpose is to promote gender pay equity and fair athletic competition, bridging disparities and ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals, with a respectful acknowledgment of the unique experiences of transgender individuals.

This legislation introduces proactive measures against organizations violating the Equal Pay Act, including revoking tax breaks and subsidies, and imposing higher taxation for continued violations. Additionally, it calls for specific legislation targeting private organizations defying equal pay standards.

Inclusivity is a cornerstone, celebrating the achievements of biological females and distinguishing between biological females and transgender individuals in relevant contexts while fostering inclusivity.

To ensure athletic competition equality, the Act prohibits biological males from competing in female sports and vice versa, advocating for new categories for transgender individuals, allowing fair competition based on biological identities determined at birth.

The Act mandates annual progress reports and periodic oversight to ensure its objectives are met and adjustments are made if needed. A severability clause ensures that if any provision is found invalid, the rest of the Act remains intact. It takes effect on the first day of the fiscal year following enactment, reflecting Congress's commitment to upholding gender pay equity, recognizing achievements, and ensuring fair athletic competition while respecting individual rights and identities.
