Legislation that aimed to bar transgender women and girls nationwide from participating in school athletic competitions designated for female athletes failed to advance Monday night in a divided Senate as Democrats stood united against an issue that Republicans leveraged in last year's elections.
A test vote on the bill failed to gain the 60 votes needed to advance in the chamber as senators stuck to party lines in a 51-45 vote tally.
The bill sought to determine Title IX protections “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” The vote came as Republicans have homed in repeatedly on the social cause, casting it as an issue of ensuring athletic fairness for women and girls.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month giving federal agencies wide latitude to ensure entities that receive federal funding abide by Title IX in alignment with the administration’s view, which interprets “sex” as the gender someone was assigned at birth.
Still, Republicans in Congress have set their sights on enshrining that policy into law by amending the 1972 Title IX law, which protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.

The Demonicrats are an excremental stain on the Senate.
I feel like I’m living in wonderland...
Democrats are perverts. I bet Chuck Schummer keeps a little Mexican boy locked up in his basement to abuse
We are told by the brilliant mind of a Supreme Court justice that she can’t define what a woman is.
And here we see Democrats specifically declining to define what a woman is, and what a man is.
We allegedly can’t define these terms, yet the Democrats are against trying to define these terms as they apply to laws and policies of government.
Seems odd to me.
And Festerman voted against it as Schumer directed him to. The guy is a leftist tool not some unicorn centrist.
Kill the filibuster or at least make them get up there and speak.
The feminist movement certainly jumped the shark. Democrats simply hate women. The liberal women love the transvestites. No women or girls should be involved in any sports with the sausage girlz. It’s disgusting.
Who are the whipped Republicans who support men in girls sports? As if we didn’t know
Why would any woman with a girl in sports ever vote Dim? Just so she can have an abortion?
Weak-kneed sissy punks!
This is our government. Cowards and scumbags!
This should be hung around their necks like the albatross it is.
He’s the new Manchin.
Can we identify as senators and move into their offices?
Well 13 of those Rats get to run on that vote in less than two years. Good luck $hitbirds
The Senate Dems’ sick, and anti-female votes to not advance the popular bill are now recorded, and will be played back (over and over) in GOP campaign ads come election season.
Let me see wonder who sold out to the males in females sports agenda money makers in the Senate.
What a shameless lot of corruption.
We need a Hulk Hogan type of strong guy to identify as some tiny democrat female senator and force her to try to throw him out if she wants to sit in her seat to vote.
The Civil Service fags get a big win against America. America’s women and girls, wives and daughters were raped by the bass turds at the DemonRAT Party.
It is for money. The Democrats get a lot of money from Homosexual men, and the trans athletes are their boy-toys for the most part. And they hate women.
