The House passed a bill aimed at preventing biological males from competing on female sports teams. This bill applies to transgender athletes across the country.

On Thursday, The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed in a 219-203 vote. All of the “yes” votes came from Republicans and all of the “no” votes came from Democrats.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) spoke outside of the Capitol after the party line vote.
“This is a great day for America, and a great day for girls and women, and for fairness in sports,” McCarthy said. “House Republicans pledged before the last election or commitment to American women and girls in sports. Today we kept that,” he added.
Supporters of the legislation argued that female athletes are at a disadvantage when compared to transgender female athletes. They claimed that biological males tend to be more athletically privileged and that it takes away from female athletes due to them dominating the sports and taking away spots on the team.
It’s a curious campaign for biological-male trans-genders to be included into women’s sports, as this would destroy women’s sports so they would not have any venue to compete in. Is it a case of if we can’t have it, nobody can?
