House Votes 218-206-1 to Ban Transgender Athletes from Women's and Girls' Sports, Amending Title IX
Jan 15, 2025, 12:08 AM
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act with a vote of 218-206-1, aiming to ban transgender girls and women from participating in sports designated for females in schools that receive federal funding. The bill, led by Republicans and introduced by Representative Greg Steube, seeks to amend Title IX to define sex based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Schools that allow transgender girls to participate in female sports risk losing federal funding. Two Democrats, Representatives Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez from Texas, voted in favor of the bill, while Representative Don Davis from North Carolina voted present. The legislation has sparked significant debate, with critics arguing it could lead to invasive examinations of female students, while supporters claim it ensures fairness in women's sports. The bill's future in the Senate remains uncertain, as it requires 60 votes to pass.
