House Republicans are setting up a House vote on legislation to 'save women's sports,' a bill backed by NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, who was assaulted last week.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will bring up a vote this month on legislation backed by NCAA champion swimmer Riley Gaines to keep transgender female athletes from being allowed to compete against biological female athletes."As an athlete who has experienced the injustice of competing against a male firsthand, I'm grateful for the leadership of Representative Steube," Gaines wrote.
Steube said his bill is needed to fight back against an invasion of"woke" policies across the country that go against the spirit of Title IX, which was meant to encourage women’s sports. Republicans argued that the Biden administration is harming women’s athletics not just by supporting participation by transgender women but by seeking a change to Title IX that would cement the idea that athletic programs must allow transgender athletes to participate in the sport that matches their gender identity.
