House Passes Bill Banning Transgender Athletes (Bio Males) From Competing in Girl’s Sports at Schools That Receive Federal Funding

Trans female swimmer Lia Thomas will be eligible to compete in separate division.

The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill banning transgender athletes (biological males) from competing in girl’s sports at schools that receive federal funding.

The Trump-backed bill introduced by GOP Rep. Greg Steube dubbed the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” passed the House 218 to 206.

Every Republican voted “yea” – Two Democrats joined Republicans and voted “yea.”

“The bill, known as the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” would amend Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination in schools, to recognize a person’s “sex” as “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” Schools who allow “a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls” risk losing federal funding.” – CBS News reported.

Rep. Steube said it’s a good day for the country that this bill passed.

“An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that men don’t belong in women’s sports, and that we must allow common sense to prevail. My bill will deliver upon the mandate the American people gave Congress to restore the integrity of women’s sports, just as Title IX intended,” Steube said.

AOC was triggered after the House passed a common sense bill protecting young girls.

The New York Democrat claimed “women are bleeding out in parking lots across the country.”
