‘Save women’s sports’ bill passes House with zero votes from Dems, who call it transgender ‘bullying’
Fox News
Democrats voted against a bill Thursday aimed at preventing biological males from competing against females as transgender athletes, a bill Dems equated to bullying.
Republicans defended the bill as an attempt to spare women and girls from having to compete against transgender women and girls – biological males who can sometimes dominate these sports and prevent some female athletes from making the team. But several Democrats argued in debate that the GOP bill is an extension of the bullying that transgender students are already facing at school. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
"This bill is about bullying children," said Rep. Greg Landsman, D-Ohio. "Stop bullying children."
"House Republicans are choosing to bully and belittle trans children," argued Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif. "This is about attacking a small group of children, and it is shameful."
