The House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday banning transgender athletes (biological males) from competing in girls’ sports at schools that receive federal funding.
The Trump-backed bill, introduced by GOP Rep. Greg Steube and dubbed the ‘Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,’ passed the House by a vote of 218 to 206.
Every Republican voted ‘yea,’ and two Democrats joined them.
“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 that 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 stated.
AOC reacted strongly after the House passed a commonsense bill protecting young girls.
The New York Democrat claimed that ‘women are bleeding out in parking lots across the country.’
