US House to vote on bill banning transgender athletes from girls' sports.

The House is set to vote on a GOP-led bill that would ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports at federally funded schools and educational institutions. The bill is not expected to pass the Democratic-controlled Senate and the White House has issued a veto threat. Republicans argue that transgender women hold a physical advantage over cisgender women in sports, while Democrats say that policies to restrict transgender athletes’ participation in team sports adds to the discrimination that trans people face, particularly trans youth.
