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.

    Americans have an unhealthy obsession with sports. Games are things that kids should organize amongst themselves. Kids sports should not be a massive industry. Wealthy parents have ruined everything.
