House approves trans athlete ban for girls and women's teams

Transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male would be barred from competing on girls or women’s sports teams at federally supported schools and colleges under legislation pushed through Thursday by House Republicans checking off another high-profile item on their social agenda.

Finally common sense. I’m sure the modern day women’s movement will applaud this

Look how about we start supporting real woman's rights. Let them know they matter.

as far as i know, "reproductive biology and genetics" don't change. why does he need to add "at birth"?

[dpharr]

The critics are called insane people

The supreme Court will have to straighten this out

[cordelgiglesworth]

why not put trans verse trans give you guys your own sports

[GabrielGonzalez-ebev]

I don't like Republican politics and their anti-inclusion agenda. However, in this they are right and the Democrats should remember the uproar of female swimmers from the former Soviet Union who injected themselves with tesratorum during Olympic competitions.

what i thought was a women wasen't nothin but a man. a man is a man and a women is a women. finally someone makes a normal decision

Legislators who voted today in favor of banning transgender girls from participating in school sports should be ashamed of themselves.

Young transgender people should not have to watch lawmakers debate their basic humanity.
