House passes bill banning transgender athletes from competing in federally funded women's sports

The United States House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that would prevent transgender athletes who were biologically born male to compete in girls' or women's sports teams at federally funded schools or universities. The bill passed along party lines in the Republican-controlled House, 219-203. However, it is unlikely to pass in the Democrat-controlled Senate and President Joe Biden said he would veto the bill if it did.
