Texas Democrat Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzales voted with all Republicans to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.
H.R. 734 amended Section 901 of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681).
The act strips those who receive federal financial assistance if they allow a “male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.”
The act also defines the obvious. It’s beyond sad anyone has to define sex: “For the purposes of this subsection, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) voted present.
Three Republicans did not vote: Rep. Diana Harshbarger (TN), Rep. Lisa McClain (MI), and Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY).
“This is a great day for women in America. House Republicans yet again stood up for women,” Speaker Mike Johnson said. “Today, the House voted to uphold common sense. We voted to require all schools receiving federal funds to uphold the original meaning of Title IX and keep biological men out of women’s sports. Last Congress, we also voted on this legislation. And not one Democrats joined us. The American people sent a clear message in November. They want a return to common sense, but Democrats are ignoring them.”
Fox News reported that House Minority Hakeem Jeffries wrote on BlueSky “that the law would ‘unleash horrific child predators on girls and young women.'”
Um, what? How? By keeping males who have been using the transgender movement to infiltrate sports not to just succeed in sports but prey on females?
AOC said that bigots love this bill. Okay, lady.
