Protecting Our Girls' Rights in Maine
Join the coalition of 8,000+ Maine Girl Dads fighting to protect sex-based rights for our girls, ensuring private spaces and competitive sports in our schools are designated by sex.
WHO WE ARE
ABOUT MAINE
GIRL DADS
Maine Girl Dads is a coalition of more than 8,000 fathers, and counting, who have banded together over a common cause: protecting the dignity, opportunity, and privacy of our daughters. Simply put, we want districts across Maine to designate private spaces and competitive sports in our schools by sex. No more males in female spaces or sports.
Our stance is purely paternal, not remotely political, and grounded in common sense. Sex matters. Our daughters matter.
We’ve helped shift policies in multiple school districts (MSAD 52, RSU 73, RSU 70, Baileyville, Danforth, and Richmond) but we knew from the start that district-by-district change would never be enough.
OUR JOURNEY
We started by going to the system that was supposed to protect our girls. We petitioned the Maine Principals’ Association to reinstate sex-based policies in school athletics. They refused to act.
So we went to Augusta. We urged the state legislature to pass commonsense protections for girls’ sports and private spaces. They passed nothing.
When every institution failed our daughters, we took matters into our own hands. Maine Girl Dads helped launch the Protect Girls Sports in Maine ballot referendum, a citizen-led initiative to harmonize state law with Federal Title IX, ensuring the end to sex-based discrimination in schools across the entire state.
And Mainers responded. In record time, the people of this state delivered the signatures needed to place this initiative on the November 2026 ballot. Phase one is complete. Now, we need to win.

THE BALLOT INITIATIVE
PROTECT GIRLS' SPORTS IN MAINE, ON THE BALLOT NOVEMBER 2026
The Protect Girls’ Sports in Maine ballot initiative will require Maine schools to designate athletic teams and private facilities, including bathrooms and locker rooms, by sex: Male, Female, and Co-Ed. This will harmonize the Maine Human Rights Act with Federal Title IX, ensuring every student gets to play sports while protecting fair and safe competition for our girls.
Thanks to the thousands of Mainers who signed the petition, this initiative has officially qualified for the November 2026 ballot. Now we need your help to make sure it passes.
When this initiative becomes law, it will end sex-based discrimination in school athletics and private spaces across the entire state, all at once. No more fighting district by district. No more waiting on politicians who refuse to act. The people of Maine will decide.
