What is XX-XY Athletics?

At XX-XY Athletics, we believe women deserve the opportunities that sports and single-sex spaces provide. From building confidence and resilience to promoting healthy self-esteem, women's sports offer vast developmental benefits. It's a simple truth: biological sex matters, especially in athletics.

That's why we're committed to defending women and girls' right to compete on a fair, level playing field—because every woman deserves a fair shot at victory, recognition, and the opportunity to thrive. We'll keep standing for truth and for women until that becomes the reality.

Why is the brand called XX-XY?

Our name reflects a simple biological reality: XX chromosomes are female, and XY chromosomes are male. We chose the name XX-XY Athletics because we believe sex-based categories in sports exist for a reason—to ensure fairness, safety, and equal opportunity for female athletes.

The name represents our commitment to protecting women's sports while creating premium athletic apparel for people who believe in that mission. It's a reminder that biological differences matter in competition and that women deserve spaces where they can compete on a level playing field.

Whether you're here for the apparel, the mission, or both, every purchase helps support a movement dedicated to standing up for women and girls in sports.

Does my purchase support the mission?

Yes. Every purchase helps fuel our mission to protect women's sports and defend fairness for female athletes.

As a mission-driven company, we use our platform to advocate for women and girls through storytelling, strategic partnerships, events, and initiatives that advance equal opportunity in athletics. Your support allows us to continue creating premium athletic apparel while amplifying the voices of athletes and organizations working to preserve women's sports.

When you wear XX-XY Athletics, you're not just wearing performance apparel—you're helping move the mission forward.

Whether you're here for the apparel, the mission, or both, every purchase helps support a movement dedicated to standing up for women and girls in sports.

Why did you start XX-XY Athletics?

XX-XY Athletics was founded on the belief that women shouldn't have to choose between high-quality athletic apparel and standing up for what they believe.

As more brands stayed silent on the issue of fairness in women's sports, we saw an opportunity to create something different: a premium performance apparel brand that proudly advocates for female athletes and the protection of sex-based competition.

We're here to make exceptional athletic apparel while building a community of people who believe women deserve fair competition, equal opportunity, and a voice that won't be ignored.

Every product we create is designed to help you perform at your best—and wear your values with confidence.

What makes XX-XY different from other athletic brands?

XX-XY Athletics is more than an athletic apparel brand—we're a movement.

We create premium performance apparel designed for real athletes while standing unapologetically for the protection of women's sports. Every product is built with the same attention to quality, fit, and performance you'd expect from the world's leading athletic brands, but with a mission they won't champion.

When you choose XX-XY Athletics, you're not just investing in apparel that performs—you're supporting a company that's committed to protecting fairness, opportunity, and the future of women's sports.

Does my purchase support the mission?

Yes. Every purchase helps fuel our mission to protect women's sports and defend fairness for female athletes.

As a mission-driven company, we use our platform to advocate for women and girls through storytelling, strategic partnerships, events, and initiatives that advance equal opportunity in athletics. Your support allows us to continue creating premium athletic apparel while amplifying the voices of athletes and organizations working to preserve women's sports.

What organizations do you support?

XX-XY Athletics proudly supports organizations and initiatives that protect women's sports, empower female athletes, and defend fairness and equal opportunity in athletics.

We've partnered with and supported organizations including the Riley Gaines Center, ICONS, Athletes for Action, Gays Against Groomers, The Leadership Program of the Rockies, 50 For The Fallen, and the Kaillie Humphries Foundation, among others.

As our mission grows, we're committed to expanding our support for athletes, advocacy organizations, and communities working to preserve opportunities for women and girls.

Are you anti-trans?

Supporting women and girls is not anti-anyone. We believe that girls and women deserve safety, privacy, and fairness. By supporting our brand, you're standing up for these values.

Women's sports exist for a reason, as sex is the biggest determinant of athletic performance. Title IX was established in 1972 to ensure equal opportunities for women and girls in the education system. Our brand is committed to defending that principle today.

Why do you believe biological sex matters in sports?

We believe biological sex matters in sports because male and female bodies develop differently after puberty in ways that can affect strength, speed, power, endurance, and recovery. Sex-based categories were created to ensure female athletes have the opportunity to compete on a fair and level playing field.

Our position is rooted in the belief that protecting women's sports protects opportunities for women and girls—from participation and scholarships to records, championships, and professional competition.

We believe everyone deserves dignity and respect. At the same time, we believe preserving female athletic competition is essential to maintaining fairness and equal opportunity in sports.

What solution do you support?

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to participate in sports. At the same time, we believe female athletes deserve fair competition in categories based on biological sex. We support maintaining sex-based divisions for women's sports while encouraging the development of solutions that allow everyone to participate in ways that are fair, respectful, and inclusive.

Our goal isn't to exclude anyone—it's to preserve the opportunities, safety, and competitive fairness that women's sports were created to provide. We believe it's possible to respect every individual while protecting the integrity of female athletic competition.
