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."

Yeah! The fact that boys think they're girls!
Unanswered questions:
—What is a woman?
—What is the difference, if any, between a “trans woman” and a “non-trans woman”?
—Why is there such a thing as “women’s sports”?
Maybe you are absolutely right.
Behind the barn is quicker and longer lasting.
Officer Krupke, you're really a square This boy don't need a judge, he needs a analyst's care! It's just his neurosis that oughta be curbed He's psychologically disturbed!
What a perverted mind he has....
They're welcome to play on a team consistent with BIOLOGIAL REALITY.
Has he met that creep at the center of the Bud Light fiasco?
Repeal the 19th. Cut them out of the equation altogether. Too many of them are unserious, single-issue (killing babies) voters.
And Lia Thomas still has Guido in his Speedos. Reminiscent of the old days of pro wrestling when guys like Bugsy McGraw, Killer Kowalski, Classy Freddie Blassey etc would sneak a “foreign object” into the ring. As long as this 🐂💩 is allowed to go on women’s sports are just as fake 🤬🤬
That’s “government” discrimination against freedom of association. Let trans’ers have their OWN arena in which to compete amongst themselves; and leave it there.
Boy, he’s really in the tank for the trannies, isn’t he.
Screw the other 99 percent of the population, particularly the younger aged females.
But he never truly cared about THEM anyway, now, did he.
Well no sh!t sherlock. If a person is still struggling at what they find behind their underwear they have bigger problems than sports participation.
Great idea and what we already do in a sense with the Special Olympics.
Same here.I’m 73
