The legislation, called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, makes it a violation of Title IX for federally funded education programs to allow people assigned male at birth to participate in athletic programs designated for women. It prohibits federal funding to institutions that allow people assigned male at birth to participate on women's sports teams or in events.
It passed in the House 219-203 along party-line votes.
The legislation comes at a time when numerous states are passing similar laws banning transgender students from participating on sports teams that align with their gender identity as the GOP continues to champion "culture war" issues.

I guess this would technically be a new genre of sports, they should have their own leagues to level the playing field.
There isn’t enough of them *sadly* or *gladly* , delete whichever offends you.
Good. Why should men with lipstick be allowed to compete with women?
Imagine lipstick and 24 hr shadow, super creepy.
I took a Gender Studies course at Texas Christian University (it’s a real course & it’s not as useless as Conservatives think), & I read in our textbook at 1 point that roughly 7% of the U.S. population (or about 1 in 15 people) is openly in the LGBT+ community, but only a fraction of them are actually in the T category (less then half of 1 in 100 people), so even for Republican politicians, FOX News hosts, & Conservative YouTubers, their blatant anti-transgender propaganda makes no logical sense (on top of being morally wrong) because they’re attacking the minority group of a minority group.
But it makes 100% sense, why would you want your daughters getting smashed around in contact sports by males. Or training for years to be beaten by someone who switched gender 2 weeks a go.
@Spaghetti Legs Mike Tyson goes mad and declares his new gender to be female. Guess who the next woman world champion boxer is?
If it wasn’t so sad it would be very nearly funny.
You lost me at: “I took a Gender Studies course.” 🤦♂
— ENTIRE U.S. WEST COAST WILL CHANGE DRIVING LAWS, ALLOWING E.V. MOTOR BIKES, MOTOR CYCLES, MOPEDS, ETC, IN THAT NATURE TO BE DRIVABLE WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF DRIVERS LICENSE OR MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT REGUILATIONS, REGARDLESS OF THE CC LEVELS —
Females athletes work hard, and do not deserve the burden of competing against biological Male’s, who are naturally stronger.
at last U.S.A. talk sense.
Yes!!! A WIN for common sense, science, and sanity!!! Let’s make America at least normal again!
I feel american again
Thank you for protecting lesbian rights. Lesbian athletes deserve single-sex categories in sports.
