House Republicans voted Thursday to outlaw transgender female athletes from taking part in girls’ and women’s sports by amending Title IX protections to only include biologically female athletes. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed 219-203, with no Democrats supporting the measure. Spitting on real women, Joe Biden plans to veto it. Several states have already passed similar bills banning trannies from women’s sports.
NY POST GOP conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said before the vote she expected the “historic legislation” would “protect women and girls in sports,” calling out the “unfairness” of permitting biologically male athletes to compete against women.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, called the legislation “a monumental win for women and girls across our country” — and criticized the Biden administration for “doubling down” on its recent Title IX proposal that would allow transgender athletes to compete alongside girls and women in prep and college sports.
“Harm is being done to female athletes, and the American people know this is wrong,” Foxx said. “The strides of women in sports should never be sacrificed to appease the radical woke mobs on the left.”
Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) introduced the bill in March, which amends the Education Amendments of 1972 to define sex solely based on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
The bill will revoke federal funding for women’s athletic programs that allow transgender athletes to compete. It prevents males from joining athletic programs or activities meant for girls and women but allows them to train as long as it doesn’t deprive female athletes of any opportunities.
World Athletics has also banned transgender athletes from competing in female track and field events at an elite level.

Title IX was the Trojan horse.

But how can women who campaigned so hard for women’s rights in sports turn around and stab those same women in the back?

Even if they’ve completed their “transitions,” TG freaks will always have the chromosomes and other parts of genetics they were born with, including those which give them unfair advantages over other people. Anyone who refuses to acknowledge this fact is a fool beyond hope.
David Grisez says
We live in a society that has gone crazy by accepting this transgenderism. I was born in 1951 and when I grew up gender was biologically determined. A person was either male or female, boy or girl, man or woman. There was not this foolishness of transgender males and transgender females. It is a known fact that biological men as a general rule have greater upper body strength than women. Also biological men as a general rule are a little taller than biological women. So it is obvious that biological men pretending to be women should not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.
BareNakedIslam says
Not to mention a whole lot faster and stronger.

I will comment on off topic but related comment.
Aunt Jemima syrup.
The Woke mob considered her image to be demeaning and had it removed. I imagine you have heard of “rags to riches” story. Her story was better, it was “Slave to Riches”. After she was freed, she had to get a job to earn a living. She knew cooking, so she cooked. She ends up with her own establishment and creates her own syrup. She was the first Black woman to succeed in the Business world. She had more ‘firsts’ than people can dream about, only to be cancelled by the woke mob.
One More:
A Black sculptor created a work of art commemorating the freeing of the slaves. It was the first creation by a Black artist to be placed in a public park. Cancelled by the woke mob.

Very interesting, Tom, I didn’t know that. Not surprised that the wokists are so ignorant. Look what they are doing to women’s sports now.
Smooth Lee says
The bill, if it gets to Biden’s desk, he’ll veto it. Similar bills have passed in many states, failed or been vetoed in some others. Here in Idaho transgenders are prohibited from competing in girls’ sports (HB 500), but it’s being vigorously challenged.
BareNakedIslam says
Several states have banned transgenders from women’s/girl’s sports. And federal laws can’t overturn them I don’t think.
canuckguynbgmailcom says
They also need to ban them from women’s prisons.
BareNakedIslam says
Especially!
Sean McDermott says
What a generation this is on planet Earth, where falsehood is suddenly preferable to the truth.
Men who thought they were women used to bear a different moniker: they were called mentally ill. Now they’re called “brave.”
What’s next? Aardvarks wanting to “bravely” become walruses?
I have 100 trillion cells in my body, each one of them male. For all the men out there who think the opposite, go see a shrink. You have mental problems.
It’s time to start calling all of this nonsense what it really is: insanity.
BareNakedIslam says
Totally agree.
Tom Dundee says
It is all about destroying the natural order of things. I doubt they have anything they want to create should they succeed.
BareNakedIslam says
I think it’s the communists trying to destroy us from within. You know communist countries don’t allow all this transgender nonsense.
VMS says
In addition to that, this may be a distraction to occupy everyone’s time with transgender issues to divert their attention from the lack of Hunter’s prosecution and the corruption of this administration and our economic woes caused by an energy / climate policy that is sure to cripple the country.
BareNakedIslam says
Or this?
Pray Hard says
Our stupidity and denial are a big part of the problem. The vast majority of people simply don’t want to believe that this sort of behavior exists.
BareNakedIslam says
Can’t imagine why, it’s being shoved in their faces everywhere you turn.

Sean, well said.

Next on the agenda is normalizing pedophilia. It’s already started by renaming Pedos as MAPs (minor attracted people).
Michael Cole says
Create a transgender class, so they can compete against other transgender athletes. Let them start crying over that class. Strip any previous medals won and reissued under transgender. Then reissue all medals to bio females. Can’t wait for the baby tears.
allanivarsson says
Michael good idea.
