House passes bill to ban transgender athletes from female school sports teams

The House on Tuesday passed legislation to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports in public schools. The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," passed with 218 votes in favor,
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would prohibit transgender athletes, whose biological sex at birth was male, from participating in girls' or women's sports teams at schools that receive federal funding. This legislation, known as the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," was passed with a vote of 219-203, largely along party lines. The bill aims to ensure that sports teams are designated based on an individual's sex at birth, arguing it preserves competitive fairness for female athletes. Critics argue that the bill discriminates against transgender students and could lead to invasive checks to verify an athlete's sex. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its future is uncertain due to the Democratic majority, and President Biden has indicated he would veto the bill if it reaches his desk.
