She ran against a male competitor and lost out — which is why Jon Ossoff’s three votes matter
When it mattered most, Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff abandoned women and girls every time.
Start with exercise. that it. Ossoff He had three opportunities to advocate for female athletes — three opportunities to say girls’ sports are for girls. Three times voted no.
In March 2025, he voted against protection Women and Girls in Sports Acta clear and straightforward bill that would have made clear under Title IX that women’s sports are reserved for females based on biological sex. This measure would have furthered the original intent of the law.
In March 2024, he voted to repeal an amendment that would have withheld federal funds from schools and states that allow men to compete in women’s programs.
In March 2021, he rose They voted against the amendment To prevent schools from placing male athletes in female categories.
Three opportunities to stand with women. Three times he refused.
But it doesn’t stop there. Senator Ossoff is also seeking to override state-level protections in Georgia by repeatedly supporting the federal Equality Act. He co-sponsored it in 2021 and 2023 and campaigned on it in 2020. The bill would redefine sex to include gender identity through federal civil rights law, with no exception for sports. Legal experts and elite athletes — many of them non-conservatives — have warned of exactly what that means: mixed competition, missed opportunities, and compromised safety.

The Equality Act is not a compromise. that it Federal mandate Which erases Georgia’s right to protect its girls.
Ossoff’s record extends beyond the playing field. He has supported legislation that would mandate access to bathrooms, locker rooms and locker rooms based on gender identity. Translation: He supports policies that require your daughter to undress in the locker room with a man. No regard for privacy. No regard for safety.
He supports policies that tell women –Including survivors of sexual assault– That their discomfort and fear do not matter, and that male feelings are more important than women’s physical safety.
On women’s sports, women’s spaces, women’s shelters, and religious freedom, Democratic senator stands with Washington states on Georgia families
Think of women fleeing abuse, staying at home Domestic violence shelters With their children. These women deserve dignity, privacy, and trauma-informed policies. However, Ossoff supported measures that would force domestic violence shelters for women to accept males who identify as women, even though survivors have repeatedly said such policies could re-traumatize them and push them back onto the streets. This is not sympathy. This is cruelty dressed as progress.

Religious freedom is not safe either. Senator Ossoff introduced a bill to override the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, forcing Christian hospitals in Georgia to perform surgeries on transgender people against their deeply held beliefs.
Put it all together, and the pattern is clear. On women’s sports, women’s spaces, women’s shelters, and religious freedom, Jon Ossoff stands by Washington’s mandates on Georgia families. Georgia is trying to protect justice. He’s trying to federalize it away.

Some say fairness can be maintained through hormone rules or case-by-case exceptions. It is not possible.
I lived reality. Women are told to remain silent, to ignore our intuition when it tells us it’s wrong to undress next to a man in a locker room, to give up records and list spots to spare someone else’s feelings. Title IX was never intended to make women invisible to resolving arguments. It was meant to make sure we were counted.
