The bill approved aims to bar transgender women and girls from participating in school athletic programs designated for female students, a contentious topic in the House.
Republicans presented the legislation as a means to 'level the playing field for female athletes,' asserting that 'the American people gave Congress a mandate' to protect women's rights.
Democrats criticized the bill as a 'dangerous invasion of privacy,' arguing it exemplifies Republicans' unhealthy fixation on restricting transgender rights instead of focusing on pressing issues like job creation.
Representative Greg Steube emphasized that the overwhelming majority believe 'men don't belong in women's sports,' framing this bill as a reflection of public sentiment.
