White House: 'If the President were presented with HR 734, he would veto it.'
The White House vowed Monday that President Biden will veto a bill that would prevent biological males from participating in women's sports should it pass both houses fo Congress.
The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, or H.R. 734, was introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., and is expected to come to a vote on the House floor sometime this week.
"The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 734," the White House said in a statement. "For students nationwide, participating in sports and being part of a team is an important part of growing up, staying engaged in school, and learning leadership and life skills. H.R. 734 would deny access to sports for many families by establishing an absolute ban on transgender students—even those as young as elementary schoolers—playing on a team consistent with their gender identity."
"Schools, coaches, and athletic associations around the country are already working with families to develop participation rules that are fair and that take into account particular sports, grade levels, and levels of competition. As a national ban that does not account for competitiveness or grade level, H.R. 734 targets people for who they are and therefore is discriminatory," it said.
The statement accused politicians of dictating a "one-size-fits-all requirement that forces coaches to remove kids from their teams," and argued transgender youth across the country were already facing a mental health crisis.
It claimed such a law was "unnecessary," and that it "hurts families and students."

Not 'fair'...
Maybe girls shouldn’t vote for Democrats?
Biden is a sick, sick puppy.
Let men compete against men; and women compete against women; and trans compete against trans. Pretty simple.
People with IQs above 75 discriminate against this clown by having an intellect at least 10 points higher than this POS.
women are one issue voters.........
Way to go Azhole. You’re slapping half the U.S. population in the face for the sake of pandering to a miniscule number of Trannys and the groomers that spawned them. Probably ought not seek re-election you brain dead moron.
Let them compete. We will only live in a just world when men have every female award for everything.
Umm...it is DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ACTUAL WOMEN, you doddering old sick immoral pedophile, GFY.
Does biden sniff tranny boys hair..if they think they’re a girl?
Force him to veto it and see how women respond.
How do you spell evil? Biden.
They’re too young to vote, some of them. But not too young to have had their fill of being pawed and ogled day in and day out, only to have a boy watching them undress to shower, compete with them, and sometimes molest them.
Favoring transgender “women” (read that “fake women”) in sports tells women that no matter how hard they try, a man will always be better than you.
How do you spell re-election?
Stolen again.
It will never get a vote in the Senate.
Biden is a fag. A demented fag.
He’s a closet tranny, Jim...
No rational biological woman should vote for Biden and his demented allies.
