... along w/ 8 Republicans.

DEMOCRATS UNANIMOUS AS HOUSE PASSES BILL FORCING SCHOOLS TO LET MALE ATHLETES COMPETE IN GIRLS’ SPORTS

The bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.

Among other things, that would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.

...
Three former elite female athletes, Doriane Coleman, Martina Navratilova and Sanya Richards-Ross, warned that the Equality Act would wreak havoc on women’s sports in an April 29 Washington Post op-ed.

“The legislation would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose. For example, a sports team couldn’t treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied,” the former athletes wrote.


Which looker room would they use?

They had a young female athlete on TV this morning. Can't remember the details, but in her sport, the five best get scholarships. The 1st place winner was a male (slash female), and the girl on TV came in sixth. She ends up with squat.

THIS is how Democrats are "helping" women? What's that saying....."with friends like that, who needs enemies."

Why is this an issue? WHY are democrats spending all their time on stuff that will in no way improve the country?

It's flipping SPORTS.

Why are they so fixated on what sex people *want* to be???

This is what matters to liberal congresspeople. Sports. And who can play them. A long as it's Choose Your Own Sex Day.

Isnt there anything more important that they can be doing?

You have Jerry Nadlers assurance that this will not disadvantage females.
These real high school females disagree.
