House GOP passes bill banning trans-identified males from competing on women's sports teams

On Thursday, House Republicans passed a bill banning biological males from competing in women’s and girls’ school sports.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 passed in the Republican-controlled chamber 219 to 203 along party lines, according to Fox News. The bill is unlikely to pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate, with Biden also voicing his opposition to the bill.

During debate, House Republicans defended the bill, with Rep Virginia Foxx saying that Democrats are ignoring the "physical advantages" biological males have over females.
