The article from Newsweek discusses a bill introduced by Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, aimed at banning transgender athletes from participating in women's and girls' sports at schools and colleges that receive federal funding. The legislation, titled the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," seeks to amend Title IX to define sex based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. This move comes in response to ongoing debates about fairness in sports, with critics arguing that transgender women and girls have physical advantages over cisgender females. The bill has sparked significant controversy, with supporters like Rep. Greg Steube claiming it protects the integrity of women's sports, while opponents, including the Human Rights Campaign, argue it promotes discrimination and could lead to invasive "sex testing." The legislation reflects a broader cultural and political battle over transgender rights in the U.S.
