"Washington — The House on Tuesday passed a Republican measure banning transgender girls and women from competing on school sports teams that match their gender identity after the party leaned into the issue during the 2024 campaign.

The bill, known as the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," would amend Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination in schools, to recognize a person's "sex" as "based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth." Schools who allow "a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls" risk losing federal funding.

It passed in the House with 218 voting in favor, 206 voting against and one voting present. Two Democrats from Texas — Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez — joined all Republicans in support of the bill. Democratic Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina voted present.
