Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have passed a bill that would restore sanity to Women’s Sports. It would prohibit transgender students from playing on women’s sports teams. The vote was a party-line vote of 219-203. It won’t become law, because Democrats control the Senate and the White House. It’s time for parents, and in particular, suburban women – moms – to wake up to the fact that the Democrats are fine with letting their daughters be robbed by males who decide to compete as females in women’s athletics. Who will stand up for the girls who work so hard only to be beaten by biological males? It’s the Republicans who are standing up. They need the support of parents all across America in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHouse Republicans approved their measure to restrict transgender students from playing on women\u2019s sports teams on a 219-203 vote Thursday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legislation \u2014\u00a0H.R. 734 (118)\u00a0\u2014 is a key part of the GOP\u2019s education agenda and mirrors more than 20 laws that have been adopted in states across the country. It bars transgender women from playing on teams consistent with their gender identity and amends Title IX, the federal education law that bars sex-based discrimination, to define sex as based solely on a person\u2019s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transgender students, however, would be able to practice or train with a program designated for women or girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During debate over the bill on Wednesday, several GOP lawmakers argued the bill was necessary because of the Biden administration\u2019s new proposed Title IX rule on athletics eligibility that would allow transgender girls to play sports with some limitations. Democrats pushed back by invoking Utah Gov. Spencer Cox in their defense of transgender women and girls. Cox, a Republican, vetoed<\/u> a similar sports ban<\/a> in the state and acknowledged several challenges transgender students face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bill has no chance of becoming law as it is likely to stall in the Democrat-controlled Senate, and President Joe Biden has already announced that he would veto the bill if it were to reach his desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
