Senate Democrats block bill to ban transgender students in girls' sports​

Washington — Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a measure that sought to ban transgender girls and women from competing on school sports teams that match their gender identity.

The 51-45 vote fell short of the 60 required to advance the bill. Republicans, who control 53 seats in the upper chamber, needed at least seven Democrats to join them if all members were present and voting.

"This is the third time that I've had a vote on this bill. The other two times have failed because we have had almost zero Democrats help to support women and girls in sports," Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who co-sponsored the legislation, said ahead of the procedural vote.

The bill, known as the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," would prevent schools from receiving federal funding if they allow transgender girls and women to participate in female athletic programs. It adds that a person's sex "shall be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth."

The House passed a similar Republican-led measure in January, with two Democrats joining the Republican majority.

Last month, President Trump signed an executive order to ban transgender girls and women from competing on female sports teams. Schools not in compliance jeopardize any federal funding they receive. The order also affects U.S. visa policies for athletes who travel to the country to compete in the Olympics or other sporting events.

Those in favor of the bans contend that transgender athletes have biological advantages that are unfair and unsafe for other girls and women. Opponents of such policies have argued that a ban opens the door to intrusive genital examinations of girls, particularly those who do not fit stereotypical feminine appearances.

Polling in recent years has found a lack of support for transgender athletes participating on sports teams that match their gender identity. About half of states limit transgender athlete participation.
 
At least we now know how the far left Democratic Socialist loons feel about protecting women in sports from men pretending to be women.

We know their names. Every rotten Democrat in the Senate voted to kill the bill to ban transgender students in girl's sports.

We know how they feel about men in little girls' bathrooms or adult women's dressing rooms, men taking scholarships from female college athletes, men crushing the facial bones of women athletes in volleyball.

We now know that every Democrat in the Senate is a misogynist.
 
This is a common sense bill. :thup:

Only people that hate little girls and women would vote against it.

You have to wonder why leftists have some so much
 
Why are white lib women so obsessed with this male homosexual fetishism.
 
Bret and Heather say that even back in 2017 it was obvious to them that the Trans movement is both not authentic and also extremely important to power for reasons they could not figure out.

This idea I hear today that WOKE is broken/defeated and stuff like trans ideology is going away seems to me hopelessly overly optimistic.
