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.
I’m sure they’re just confused. They thought their constituents were frustrated by the rise in long-dormant “eggs” hatching into their true trans selves, but really they were bitching about the literal rise in literal cost of literal chicken eggs in literal grocery stores. Understandable mistake to assume a metaphor there. /s
