N.Y., called out Democrats who voted for the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, saying, 'We're not in good shape.'

The House passed legislation Tuesday that would ban transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports at schools and institutions receiving federal funds.

A new bill would remove the right of California's female transgender athletes in to participate in high school sports teams that match their gender identity.

Over 400 human rights organizations had asked the Republican-controlled chamber to reject the bill, which "does not address the longstanding barriers all girls and women have faced in their pursuit of athletics.

Republicans’ decision to push through the measure early in the new Congress indicated their belief that the issue is politically potent for them. Its future in the Senate is uncertain.

Republicans accused Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of supporting gender transitions for children throughout the 2024 election cycle, which he said took a political toll.
