A bill preventing transgender women from competing in female sports at schools across the country narrowly cleared the House of Representatives Tuesday.
Just two Democrats joined with 216 Republicans in voting for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which states that schools receiving federal funds would violate the law if they “permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.”
All 206 “nay” votes came from Democrats. Rep. Don Davis (D-NC) voted “present” while a pair of Texans, Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez bucked party lines to back the bill.
“Common sense is back in charge,” the bill’s co-sponsor, Rep Greg Steube (R-Fla.) declared on X ahead of its passage. “With a soon-to-be Republican trifecta, my bill reflects a mandate from the American people: no men in women’s sports.”
Manhattan Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and other Dems denounced the measure as a “cruel attack on transgender children” — with Nadler even suggesting that the measure could allow authorities to subject biological women to “genital examination.”
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, like other legislation the House has taken up early in the 119th Congress, was approved along party lines by the lower chamber in the 118th Congress, only to languish in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The GOP is hopeful that the measure will pass the Republican-controlled Senate and head to President-elect Donald Trump’s desk after he takes office next week. However, the bill requires 60 votes to clear a filibuster.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), a former college football coach, has introduced a Senate version of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act that is co-sponsored by almost three dozen of his GOP colleagues.

206 Dems voted against it. They want their children and grandchildren to be exposed to these sickos?? It’s all about keeping their jobs. They do as they’re told. Sad..
This is a no brainer. There’s male and female. If you don’t believe it watch a snickers commercial with Betty White. Dem’s suck. Don’t believe it? Look at California.
This is such a worn out bunch of bullshit. I’m tired of wasting time on it. You can’t fix stupid.
What a creep. I don't suppose he's ever heard of swabbing the inside of your cheek?
Then again, how many kids has he swabbed?
How much of this gender dysphoria is a direct result of some Democrat molesting very young children?
Dems have a motive for this gender chaos. A reason inside a reason.
Nadler is showing that the Democrats haven’t learned anything from the shellacking they got in November.
don’t kids have to take a physical before each sport season? “Turn and cough”. The doctor or nurse can certify the sex.
Used to be that way. Honestly, these days, who knows? Because, the left. They are here.
What a fat sack of excrement .
Where can a person get slacks with such long waist sections? Geeze, Urkel didn’t wear his pants that high.
Perhaps his Tailor was recommended by Abe Simpson.
This bill will be a good test to see if the Dems senators learned anything from the last election. If not, expect more of the they, them, you ads in 2026.

They are not transgender women; they are chemically altered/surgically mutilated males.
