Biden to veto GOP bill protecting women's sports, calls it 'discrimination' against transgender students

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."

There has got to be a way to beat this in the courts. It is obviously detrimental to the whole rationale behind Title IX.

Maybe. But then, again, maybe having an abortion at 36 weeks is more important than to them than having some mentally ill male in their locker room demanding the right to shower with them.

“... discrimination against transgender students.” ???

These are freaks, psycho’s, and reality misfits. They belong in medical/clinical therapy, not on a college/school campus spreading their twisted world.

They are intolerant and invasive pushing their derangement fantasy psychosis.

These activists and trans-freaks are emotionally driven and react with extreme intolerance for anyone who rejects their premise that says... pretending to be something they are not makes them intrinsically and biologically in every way what they pretend to be. Objective reality must be replaced with subjective reality. A world of make-believe so these freaks can exists without being offended and where rainbows and unicorns rein over and obscure the real world like a Disney cartoon.

Biden = Idiot, jack-a$$ and no less a freak then those he claims to protect. A cockroach has more sense then these Democratic party degenerates.

The GOP finally has a massive issue they can ride from here to eternity to destroy Democrats on.

Force him to veto it and see how women respond.

I had a dog and his name was...BINGO.

Get them all on the record. I really can't believe the dems are this stupid. They are handing over the suburban women and even the hardcore feminists to the GOP.

Women will vote for whoever can manipulte their emotions the most. There was a lot of opposition to the 19th amendment and now we know why.

Force a vote to override the VETO.

PUT people on record for protecting real women or supporting the destruction of the female in sports and society.

This will never stand. At least not for long. They think that mental patients like them get to dictate what other people must think and believe? Hell, that didn’t even work in Orwell’s ‘1984’, and people will revoke that one in no time. So veto away all you want Joe Corleone, it’s only a matter of time before the people have had enough of this and of you!

It will NOT stand!

I’m fine with that and they should be too. They can set up the Big-Top and the clown show for the tranny’s meet.

I wonder how women would respond.

The liberal view is that we should treat these transsexual men, who play dress up as women , as if they are women.

Liberal women, who want to prove that they are liberal, will be compelled to say that they’re in favor of all this business of transsexuals in women’s sports.

And it will not be because they thought about the issue, and decided that this is their opinion. It will be because they were told this is the liberal Viewpoint, and MSNBC commentators will reinforce it, and they’re afraid to be out of step with the liberal view of an issue.

Discriminates against trannies?

It most certainly discriminates against women. That disgusting steaming pile of ordure.

Let men compete against men; and women compete against women; and trans compete against trans. Pretty simple.

Too simple for "Joey B and the Double T's (tranny terrorists)."
