The House passed the measure by 219\u002D203 but it has little chance of passing the Democratic\u002Dcontrolled Senate.
If passed, the bill would change the civil rights law known as Title IX to require that a student’s sex be “based on an individual’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
“Democrats have regressed so far backwards they are willing to erase the rights that women have fought decades to obtain, all to elevate biological males to the top of women’s podiums. The integrity of women’s sports must be protected,” Republican Representative Greg Steube, who introduced the bill, said on Wednesday.
The White House on Monday said the bill would effectively deny access to sports for transgender students, even at the elementary school level.
