Republican-led U.S. House set to vote on banning transgender student athletes
women and girls from competing in women’s and girls’ school sports, weighing in on an issue that has riled social conservatives.
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 has no chance of passing the Democratic-controlled Senate, and Democratic PresidentThe measure 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.”Enacted in 1972, Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs or activities that receive federal funding.
Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal, who said during Wednesday’s debate on the bill that she is raising a transgender daughter, said, “This bill fuels a virulent hate campaign against kids who just want to play with their friends.”The White House on Monday said in a statement that the bill would effectively deny access to sports for transgender students, even at the elementary school level.
