According to the AP, the amendment would prohibit recipients of federal money from permitting a person &#8220;whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.&#8221; The bill defines sex as &#8220;based solely on a person&#8217;s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats said every child regardless of gender identity deserves the opportunity to belong to a team and that preventing competitors from doing so sends the message that they don&#8217;t matter.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. <strong>Pramila Jayapal<\/strong>, D-Wash., who has a transgender daughter, said Republicans were scapegoating transgender children to score political points. According to the report, she said three-quarters of transgender students report having experienced harassment or discrimination at school and that many have considered suicide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These bills tell some of the most vulnerable children in our country that they do not belong,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Shame on you.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would bar federally supported schools and colleges from allowing transgender athletes whose biological sex assigned at birth was male<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3915,"featured_media":499869,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077],"tags":[62445,129951,48992,132433],"class_list":["post-527763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","tag-emma-weyant","tag-lia-thomas","tag-riley-gaines","tag-us-house"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>House Passes Ban on Transgender Athletes in Women&#039;s Sports<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"House Passes Ban on Transgender Athletes in Women&#039;s Sports.
