Blow to Trump as bill to ban trans athletes from women's sports blocked in US senate
Briefly

A Republican bill aimed at banning transgender women and girls from participating in female sports was blocked in the Senate after unanimous opposition from Democrats. This proposed legislation sought to modify Title IX, restricting participation based on sex assigned at birth. Despite clearing the House, it did not achieve the necessary support in the Senate. The bill followed similar sentiments expressed in an executive order by former President Trump, which emphasized a need to protect women's sports against what it called unfair competition from transgender individuals. Responses to the bill highlighted deep societal divisions over transgender rights and participation in sports.
