GOP-led House votes to ban transgender athletes from women's sports

The article from MyNBC5 discusses a bill passed by House Republicans, known as the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," which aims to ban transgender athletes from participating in sports that align with their gender identity at schools and colleges receiving federal funding.
