LAS VEGAS — With the 50th anniversary of Title IX on June 23, 2022, the
inaugural conference for the new Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS)
is being held publicly with free admission at the Ahern Hotel in Las Vegas from
June 26 to 28, 2022. Doors open at 8:30 a.m. PDT. A special press conference
will take place June 27 at 9:30 a.m. PDT.


ICONS is a fast-growing grassroots nonprofit of world-class athletes, parents,
and a wide range of experts, doctors, lawyers, and activists at the forefront of
advocacy for fairness in all women's sports. One of the 35 high-profile speakers
featured at the ICONS conference is Riley Gaines, a 12-time All American and
four-time Southeastern Conference (SEC) Champion and record holder. In March,
she tied for fifth place with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas during the 200-yard
freestyle at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championships.
The NCAA gave Thomas the fifth-place trophy.



"I experienced firsthand competing against a transgender athlete, and I can
confidently say the biological differences between males and females are evident
and cannot be ignored when it comes to athletics," says Gaines. "If biological
males continue to be allowed to compete with females, fair competition and the
integrity of women's sports is a thing of the past."





Gaines is among a growing pool of women and girls who are losing titles,
trophies, scholarships and other accolades — as well as the original protections
granted by Title IX — in the women's sports fields they previously dominated.
Additionally, the Biden Administration announced plans to overhaul Title IX with
new draft rules that redefine "sex" to mean "gender" and "gender identity."



It's a growing issue that hasn't gone unnoticed, with 18 states enacting laws to
protect and save women's sports for biological women. However, governing sports
bodies, such as the NCAA, have yet to announce fair and protective measures for
women athletes, says Marshi Smith, an NCAA Champion and co-founder of ICONS.
Smith authored an open letter signed by 47 athletes and coaches, which was sent
to the NCAA Board of Governors in March, asking, Do women have a voice? — with
no response.



"My teammates and I have our pictures hanging in our university's Hall of Fame,"
says Smith, who received a full athletic scholarship and graduated from the
University of Arizona, Tucson. "What's worse than being told our voices don't
matter is not even being acknowledged with a response from the NCAA after it
chose to sacrifice the opportunities of the next generation of women swimmers
this season. We are inviting athletes across all sports to join ICONS in
advocating for fairness and ensuring all governing sports bodies listen to the
women they are meant to represent."



Kim Jones, a Stanford All-American and Pac-10 Champion, joined Smith in
launching ICONS after watching her own daughter's defeat to a transgender
competitor in women's collegiate swimming earlier this year. "I saw previously
empowered young women fade in strength and confidence as they were told their
fair treatment does not matter," says Jones. "I watched in dismay as young women
athletes were gaslit, shamed, and told to seek counseling after pointing out the
discrimination they faced as women."



For numerous doctors and scientists also being dismissed and silenced on this
issue, it is apparent "biology is not bigotry, but reality," says Dr. Ross
Tucker, PhD in Exercise Physiology and a consultant for World Rugby. Dr. Tucker,
a featured ICONS speaker, notes that every longitudinal study conducted so far
reveals that testosterone suppression has "minimal effects" on the biological
attributes created by testosterone during development. He says, "male versus
female biology is different ... males have advantages that range from 10% in
speed and endurance, to 30% in power, and up to 50% in strength — particularly
in the upper body. Research shows that the biology creating these differences
persists even after testosterone is lowered."



Another ICONS speaker, Dr. Emma Hilton, PhD and prize-winning Developmental
Biologist at the University of Manchester (UK), says there is no scientific
evidence that the current "fix" of lowering testosterone as an adult creates
fairness for female athletes. "Plenty of scientific evidence shows that you
cannot unbuild a male body," says Dr. Hilton. "Fairness is what gives sports
competitions meaning. Without it, female athletes are being forced to compete on
an unlevel playing field, or even relegated to watching from the sidelines."



Activists from the LGBTQ+ community also acknowledge clear delineations between
the bodily strength and abilities of biological men and women. "You cannot take
that male advantage away no matter what you do; we have categories in sports for
a reason and this is the reason," says Martina Navratilova, an internationally
known LGBTQ+ rights activist and multi-champion tennis player, including 18
Grand Slam Singles Titles and 31 Grand Slam Doubles Titles. "It is essential
that girls and women have a governing sports body that represents them, presents
the science, presents the evidence, and is able to speak out without
repercussions."



Most recently, FINA, the world governing body for aquatic sports, voted to
restrict transgender athletes from competing in elite women's competitions.
Marshi Smith says it's a step in the right direction, but for ICONS, its mission
is clear: To achieve a fair playing field across all women's sports, and defend
the original intent of Title IX by expanding, empowering, and protecting women's
sports and female athletes of the past, present, and future.


Olympian Benita Fitzgerald Mosley says her achievements would have been
"unlikely without Title IX," and she is "eternally grateful for this law and the
doors it opened up." Mosley, a featured ICONS speaker, is the first American and
Black woman to win a gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles. "To win an Olympic
gold medal at the 1984 Games [in Los Angeles] ... was a hugely proud moment for
me, and to do so on a level playing field was even better. My whole career and
all of the opportunities I have experienced as an athlete, and, quite frankly,
as a professional, have been the result of my participation in sports."



ICONS continues to build its network and develop the resources women need to
help shape decisions affecting their sports. You can learn more and join this
global movement for fairness in women's sports by visiting www.iconswomen.com. A
conference livestream and agenda will be available on the ICONS website, as well
