Republican-led US House to vote on limits for transgender student athletes

^{Published on 2025-01-14 14:45:20 - Reuters}

The U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on Tuesday on a bill supported by Republican President-elect Donald Trump to essentially ban transgender girls and women from competing in school sports by withholding federal funds from schools that do not comply.

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on a bill that would prevent transgender women and girls from participating in sports teams consistent with their gender identity at federally funded schools and colleges. This legislation, known as the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," aims to define sex based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Critics argue that the bill discriminates against transgender athletes, potentially violating Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs. The bill's passage in the House is anticipated, but it faces significant opposition in the Democrat-controlled Senate and would likely be vetoed by President Joe Biden if it reached his desk. The debate around this bill highlights ongoing national discussions about transgender rights, sports equity, and the interpretation of federal anti-discrimination laws.
