Summary
The U.S. House of Representatives, led by Republicans, passed the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act” in a 218-206 vote.
The bill redefines Title IX protections, banning transgender women and girls from competing in school sports that align with their gender identity in federally funded schools.
Critics, including 400+ civil rights groups, argue it could violate students’ privacy and lacks enforcement clarity.
The bill faces slim chances in the Senate.
Broader political conflicts over disaster relief funding are complicating its path forward.
Buddy is a bigot, they don’t make much sense.
Shh, I’m trying to get the bigot to out themselves
They already did
Implying “insanity” could be taken either way. It’s insane that we’re putting this much emphasis on what is ultimately an extremely uncommon occurrence, and one that objectively has no impact on the competitiveness of sports. It it’s also insanity, from the perspective of bigots, that “men” can compete in women’s sports. I know what they’re likely getting at, but by playing dumb I can get them to out their actual position and then call them out for their bullshit.
AH sorry
