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.

How Title IX Transformed Women's Sports

The groundbreaking gender equity law made a lasting impact by increasing the participation of girls and women in athletics.

Title IX, the landmark gender equity law passed as part of the Education Amendments of 1972, banned sex discrimination in federally funded education programs. Its protections would open doors for girls and women in admission, academic majors, teaching positions, vocational programs and individual classes, and help ensure equal access and treatment once they got in.
