would change Title IX's definition of sex to one "based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth." Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., introduced the legislation in February after it failed to pass out of committee during the last two sessions of Congress, when Democrats controlled the House.Pool/ABC News
Inside the Capitol, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed the bill as an example of Republicans "trying to sensationalize an issue that doesn't really exist in the way that they are falsely portraying." "I believe in the fundamental goodness and decency and integrity and respectfulness of the American people. And for me, this is not about politics. This is about being there for all of America's children, including transgender children, who just want to be able to live and to belong and to make friends," he said.
90% of America doesn’t give a crap about this stupid issue.
Like they are killing children in schools! Why don't you do the real work and keep children alive.
I’m fine with them competing so long as their scores and times don’t count against natural females. High school girls sport’s performances directly impact their chances of college scholarships and admissions
With all the domestic violence in the US and rapists getting less time in prison than drug offenders, and some states taking away women's bodily autonomy, this bill really makes me feel safer as a woman. -🙄
Biden is determined to cancel women, so good luck with that. The Democrat Party's War on REAL Women has no limits.
Great news for all real women who train hard to achieve their goals 👏
Awesome. Trans can still play sports in their biological group so no one is excluded.
They always busy doing shit that ain't even important. It's not life or death. Who gives a sh t
Excellent
That should help stop inflation and improve the economy? Also solve the crime problems Fugitive Jordan is solvng?
Is Kevin going to be the one to check their genitalia in the locker rooms?
Sounds right.
Dead on arrival in the Senate. Knowing this, why do they waste their time on such nonsense.
Top priority it's not like there are more important things going on.
Good
So what tiny percentage of the total population are we talking about?
Thank you !!!!!! 👏 👏 👏
VoteOutRepublicans
So there is a spark of sanity out there-Good
Good! No men in women’s sports is basic common sense.
This country is disgusting.
Banned male athletes from competing in women’s sports. Fixed your headline for you.
I lean left, and I can't stand spineless Speaker McCarthy, but I do question whether or not trans girls don't have a physical advantage. And I assure you that I do support LGBTQ rights. This is a major societal shift, many questions remain.
Way to solve inflation... oh wait.
Good it is not a fair competition men are much stronge than women keep working on trying to get our Country back to some kind of NORMAL.
Don’t think this is the kitchen table issue that are keeping people up at night. What’s the plan on inflation that they campaigned on? What’s the fentanyl plan? Gun safety ? They can pass as many “bills” as they want, but if it can’t get pass the senate it will never be law.
It's only right.
👏👏 America we're beginning to wonder what's happening to you at least now we know some of you still have something between your ears that is functioning.
Just create new leagues for them. Instead of wrecking what is already there. Trust me I am sure some of the sporting events might be entertaining
Good!
Really, that is their focus? How about a budget and passing the debt ceiling so they don’t cause a complete crash of our economy. In 100 days in charge they choose to attack children.
This is stupid.
TheView going to be an awful lot of pissed off people and how sad is it that this great country had to even go through this. Many years ago they stripped people of Olympic medals because they were paid. Will the NCAA throw out all tainted times and award those like Riley_Gaines_
As a former competitive athlete in the late 70's and 80's I can't believe I actually agree with republicans on something. Trans women should not be allowed in women's sports.
Welp, this will keep kids safe from being slaughtered by mass school shootings. 🙄The absolute backwards fuckery of this republican MAGA clown show is become a 24/7 non stop parody unto themselves.
Good
🫡
I have yo say that I agree. Transgender men are still physically different than women. It is not apples to apples when comparing.
Trans athletes are cheating. Men and women are different no amount of mutilation or hormone therapy will change that.
Pass something about guns
1st of its kind. Lol.
😏
Just in: House Democrats continue their War On Women by voting to keep allowing Biological Men to crush literally every record, accomplishments and even invade their spaces.
But we all support transgender playing in men's sports 😁
First of its kind because we didn't have this issue in the past.
It's a sad day when I find myself agreeing with Republicans.
If they really wanted to protect females they would do something about gun violence.
Why the fuck did It take this long?! 😂
This is ridiculous ! What are they so afraid of ?
Um...the House alone cannot pass new law. It still needs to go to the Senate and White House. This is a non-issue other than looking to sow discord for more views.
You mean they are banding biological males pretending to be females from competing in women’s sports
They really address the problems that don’t exist.
This makes sense but no the cult wants women abolished
The hate party. Not a good ring to that.
So we're not saying it's okay to be yourself and you can be anything you want when your grown .... something doesn't sound right 🤔
STRANGE.republicans are working hard to take the country back 50 yrs in ALL ways. They’re whole platform is out of touch with the MAJORITY of American citizens. They are not doing anything that helps the citizens in their daily lives. I guess they are ok with losing elections. 🤔
Bill name: Protection of Women & Girls in Sports Act. Biden will Vito it because he doesn’t care about protecting women & Girls in America.
TheView
Jeez should of been a month ago , Go Miller Lite😄🍺
Excellent!
TheView
What about trans competing in boys sports So many levels of unneeded bias and discrimination.
I agree. And I'm a Democrat
Or maybe address inflation? Just a thought..
Good - protect REAL women
And it’s dead in the Senate. Will not even see a vote.
Cruel republicans at work.
Tell me how this is more important than children getting murdered in school.
I notice when Democrats have no argument here, they ask, 'why is this a priority?' It's a priority b/c it's a growing problem while the issue is not being covered by or any other alphabet network. This is the media's fault, not Republicans manufacturing a narrative.
Called cheating…look up title IX
Awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Mediocre male athletes can't just change gender and become top female athletes. It ludicrous.
Forget women's rights, let's go for Biological Men's rights 🙄
Probably the only thing I will agree with him on
Genetically born males shouldn’t compete against females, it’s not fair. If labron James identifies as a female he would score 200 points in wnba
That’s good, but also they must protect children’s from Gun violence, limit the access to weapons that can harm our children please. BanAssaultWeapons
2 more years until we vote out the circus
Isolating children and causing further depression and suicides. Which Republicans are going to volunteer to check genitals? Republicans are sick.
I would like to see the statistics on the number of female transgender students trying to play on male teams. PROBABLY ZERO!
Yes because historically transgender people have participated in women’s sports ohh wait no they haven’t
Performative nonsense. It won't pass the Senate anyway.
See what Schumer does now ⁉️
Have fun continuing to lose elections
You could give women’s sports a rest. The schools might notice if you did.
Way more important things to worry about than transgender athletes (it won't pass in the Senate anyways) and attacking Disney because a governors feelings were hurt. What a waste of time.
DOA in the senate. Useless bill. Useless republicans.
Good, women's sports should be for women.
THANK YOU HouseGOP - unbelievable that this is even a topic of debate - thank you for following the science!
Wait, you’re saying women still have rights?! That’s insane!! 🥴
Reminder: Republican men are all about sex & genitalia, these guys KNOW they'll get a boner over nothing & are scared they'll find themselves with one bc of a trans gal. Their solution is to fix the world so they know who is 'safe' for their boners (also applies to drag queens).
Should read house republicans waste everyone’s times on bills that won’t become law.
TheView Because that’s such a pressing issue in this country…not…god forbid you do anything meaningful to help the everyday people
the dems will never sign, mostly symbolic
I would like to know how many transwomen compete at the professional, college, and high school level. Is it more than 100?
That's sure to bring down the price of gas.
It’s sad that it had to come to this…..that it actually had to be a law. It’s common sense!
“With cis women and cis girls.” Trans women and girls ARE women and girls.
But banning guns doesn’t prevent anything right?
That’s a w
Worst political party ever!
But the economy!!!
Translation: 'Democrats vote to allow men to play women's sports.'
GMA It won’t stop here. Please look into what is happening to trans kids in Florida.
How do they prevent this? Requiring mandatory genital checks? I have a huge problem with all of this as it just jeopardizes the privacy and safety of all girls. No one should allow their child to be required to have a check like this unless it is their own, private doctor.
Meanwhile, thousands in Ft. Lauderdale lost their homes and cars in a Biblical flood. Oklahomans got hit with a tornado. The leading cause of death in children is firearms. But yeah, let's focus on the few people affected by this legislation.
Good job for saving women and girls rights men don't belong in women's sports thats why title 9 is there
This is the same group that talks nonstop about wasting taxpayer dollars on government spending but they spend their time (and OUR money) on bullshit like this - that benefits nobody. 🙄
It’s very telling that no one comes for trans men as hard
Another waste of time. Ho hum.
Protect women in sports from trans men who hate women
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've always thought that Bible thumpers considered a masculine feminine 'it'competing in school sports is something to be embraced
Ridiculous.
We need a law for common sense. That’s how fckd this country is.
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow great
That should help with inflation and the price of Healthcare.
I'm so glad, transgender men have no business competing in a woman's sport
savewomensports
But it discriminates against boys who aren't good enough to compete against other boys...
It's sad that discrimination is the number one characteristic of Republicans!
The trans community is setting the LGBT movement back decades. There is LGB and then there are 50 gender identities. If that distinction isn't made, and we group based solely on similar enemies, this will further erode moderates and independents towards the right.
Good, protect biological woman!
Democrats clearly hate women when they think men have the right to play and defeat women in sports
Trump will sign it post haste. Oh, wait. Getting ahead of myself here. Ooops.
And the bill is DOA in the Senate. And it will never cross Joe Biden’s desk. More performative BS that does nothing but waste time.
But what about inflation? That’s not going to keep grocery prices down.
Priorities, sure that'll bring down inflation
Good!
If Bill don't pass in senate I hope all real women boycott playing with man
Always grandstanding on the issues most Americans care about. scarasm
But not the boys/men ? Seems contradictory and sexist
Now what are you going to do about the girls and boys that are mowed down in their classroom?
Like para olympic, they should have their own competitions.
Great! You can identify as a girl all you want, but you're not going to take anything away from real females. Transgenders should compete against each other
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Are Trans people taking over sports by the Hundreds? Thousands? Did i miss it? I rather see something on A.I.
Good
Excellent news for women and and the principle of fair competition.
Why aren’t biological females trying to compete in biological male sports? 🤔
katalin_pota I told someone “Dems don’t know how to fight.” They said not true and got mad. Perfect example. 🤷🏽♂️
Not enough McCarthy... Fauci lives in paradise?
It’ll die in the Senate
They really showed those 10 trans people who’s boss!!
All .3 of them.
Well done GOP!
Brandon hates women, unless they're girls under 12. So he'll veto.
This is NOT legislation. It’s performance art. This will go nowhere in the senate and certainly not beyond the resolute desk at the WH.
Government breaking new records on getting nothing done
Hmmm, so I guess women against men will be acceptable
Good!
Culture war bullshit. Do something meaningful
Thank you.
Good! Keep the frauds OUt!
The party of discrimination
Basically this legislation solidifies the basis of Title 9. Why wouldn’t everyone support the progress women have made through true equality in sports?
A lot of the people that make comments on this stuff aren’t trans. Anyone from trans community, how do you feel about this? Not trolling, I’m just curious. I think a lot of people “assume” that the trans community hates this. I’d like to hear from ppl of that community.Thank you!
omunderdal Time for walkouts!! Just stop playing.
I the girl that had to compete against boys have to be so happy right now. Great job!!!
Simple.....just have a 'transgender' sports category then watch them try to figure out if transgender males should be allowed to compete against transgender females!
Solving inflation? 🤣🫡
Shouldn't that be the decision of the individual state's athletic commission, not a federal ban?
I believe that women should play sports with women and men with men! I don't agree with 75% of what this man and his people stand for, but I stand with him (them) on this one! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Republican executives at abc covering for Republicans by avoiding words like “bigotry”.
W
Republicans are awesome, transgenders need to play dress up at home, not in public.
You mean ban men from competing in women’s sports?
Where’s the debt limit bill though?
Inflation is solved. Good work.
TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY HAVE BETWEEN THEIR LEGS! I hope the Senate refuses to act on this bill.
....do they allow female-to-male athletes to play in mens' sports?
As well they should!!
We have to create laws to keep the Democrat debauchery to a minimum, some sick folks who think men should be able to beat up on women and still call it a sport
It is time for trans athletes to have their own division so they no longer steal trophies and opportunities from real woman.
Great news. But the democrats will block it for sure.
They can still compete against men. 🤣
I'm sure your donor thanks you. Everybody else was a non issue.🙄
A vote that should have had a 100% approval from the entire Congress
Why do democrats hate women so much Every single one voted NO! Smh!
Hell yeah, that's good start, no biological man should compete in women sport
Senate won’t bring it up. It’s not necessary and a waste of time.
All this hysterical bigotry masquerading as 'protecting women.'
GMA This is heartbreaking 💔
They suck!
Everyday getting closer and closer! Disgusting
GMA
this is their priority?
The true colors of white Radicalized Evangelical Christians who are the New Founding Bible Founders of our BS Constitution.
Thank you MAGA Republicans for stopping the Democrats attack on women.
Common sense , only the cult of women haters would oppose this.
This is fascism, folks. Right here in America. These are adults targeting young children in a mad frenzy of extremist hate-mongering. And if you think Republicans are stopping after they're done attacking transgender people, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
The adults entered the room . There will be massive whining throughout the country.
Feminists should be elated about this! No more men beating women in the same sport. Congrats to all feminists and women athletes!
Good. Too bad the Dems hate women and voted against it. Biden, who also hates women, will veto it. Title IX is history.
Fascists!
Why not trans boys too?
Distractions from the real things transpiring
This week alone: 1. A boy shot for ringing the wrong doorbell 2. A girl shot for pulling in the wrong driveway 3. A girl shot for going up to the wrong car 4. A girl shot for rolling a ball into the wrong yard Good to see the GOP protecting the GIRLS!
Make America Great Again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is cruel legislation that doesn’t solve any real issue except to tell kids that the Republican Party thinks the government should legislate what sports you can play.
I smell a Veto coming.
Biological women need to stop demanding thier own spaces... THEY ARENT SPECIAL!!! AMIRITE!!?
Surely it will end inflation
The obsession w genitalia among these so called “leaders” is very strange.
Nice about time republicans did something of value.
1 cause of death among children in the USA: gun violence. GOP bills to help the issue: ZERO Percentual of transgender athletes in sports: 0.00001% GOPHypocrisy
The party of freedom
Title IX is a federal law that was passed in 1972 to ensure that male and female students and employees in educational settings are treated equally and fairly. It protects against discrimination based on sex (including sexual harassment).
Their obsession with trans people is so weird.
but not trans boys... that's weird
