The US House votes to get men out of women’s sport

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act won 218 vs 206

The Republican-controlled House has voted to stop males participating in female sport regardless of how they identify. 

The new law will favour biological reality instead of gender ideology.

The bill, dubbed the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," passed mostly along party lines, with 218 voting in favor of it and 206 opposed to the ban. Only two Democrats, Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar of Texas, voted in favor of the bill while one Democrat, Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina, voted present.

The bill would amend Title IX to recognize sex “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth," according to its text. Title IX is a federal civil rights law that bans sex and gender-based discrimination in schools.

Any school that violates the act could lose federal funding.

“Quite simply, men should not be playing in women's sports Period. End of story,” said Rep. Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., coming out of voting for the bill. “And as a father of two, we've got to protect our daughters who are playing sports from having men play in their sports and overpower them in a sports competition.”

Democrats are losing their minds over the vote calling it “a disgusting bill,”

The bill faces an uphill climb in the Senate, where seven Democrats must join Republicans to advance the legislation to a final vote. President Joe Biden is not expected to sign the bill into law.

But Yakym said he was confident it would pass the upper chamber.

“I mean, this is something that the American people clearly spoke on during the election cycle,” he said. “And we all want to be united.”

Incoming President Trump has already flagged this issue and continually stated during his election campaign that he would act to “get men the hell out of women’s sport.”

It is now time for Australian politicians to sit up and take note.

We will not rest until all males are out of women’s sport.
