Two Democrats back measure that passes 218-206 but bill would need Democratic support in Senate to pass there
House Republicans pushed through sweeping legislation on Tuesday to block transgender women and girls from school sports, escalating a fierce culture-war battle that puts federal education dollars on the line.
The bill passed 218-206 in a vote that saw two Texas Democrats break ranks to support the Republican measure. It marks the first standalone federal legislation targeting transgender rights to clear either chamber of Congress.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act would rewrite Title IX rules to define sex as “reproductive biology and genetics at birth” – effectively banning transgender athletes from competing on teams matching their gender identity at any school receiving federal funding.
