House approves bill banning transgender athletes from women's sports.

House Republicans passed a bill that would ban transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male from competing on girls or women’s sports teams at federally supported schools and colleges. The bill is unlikely to advance further because the Democratic-led Senate will not support it and the White House said President Joe Biden would veto it. Supporters said the legislation is necessary to ensure competitive fairness, while opponents criticized the bill as ostracizing an already vulnerable group merely for political gain. The bill would amend landmark civil rights legislation, known as Title IX, passed more than 50 years ago.
