The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" passed the House of Representatives thanks to Republicans, as Democrats used fearmongering tactics to try to stop the passage.
That is not really "M@ga" because something like 70% of Democratic voters also support that. This is just common sense. Glad to hear it is happening.
Exactly. Democrats, please vote out the insane politicians who tried to block this bill
They should be imprisoned, actually. Could have immensely harmed many girls and women, and they already did because the institution was reactive and not proactive.

Typical maga word salad…the incoming president is who should be in jail. Get ready to bow to Putin..
Why is it always Outkick? Anyway, what happens next?
Never mind. The bill will need 60 votes in the Senate for it to pass. The House vote was along party lines.
No, actually it takes only 51 to pass. 50 if the vice president breaks a 50-50 tie. It takes 60 votes to close a filibuster. Which may or may not happen. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

A BILL To amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025”.
SEC. 2. AMENDMENT. Section 901 of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681) is amended by adding at the end the following:
“(d) (1) It shall be a violation of subsection (a) for a recipient of Federal financial assistance who operates, sponsors, or facilitates an athletic program or activity to permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.
“(2) For the purposes of this subsection, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.
“(3) For the purposes of this subsection, the term ‘athletic programs and activities’ includes, but is not limited to, all programs or activities that are provided conditional upon participation with any athletic team.
“(4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit a recipient from permitting males to train or practice with an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls so long as no female is deprived of a roster spot on a team or sport, opportunity to participate in a practice or competition, scholarship, admission to an educational institution, or any other benefit that accompanies participating in the athletic program or activity.
“(5) The Comptroller General shall carry out a study to determine the meaning of the phrase ‘any other benefit’ as used in paragraph (4) by looking at benefits to women or girls of participating in single sex sports that would be lost by allowing males to participate. The study shall document the adverse psychological, developmental, participatory, and sociological results to girls of allowing males to compete, be members of a sports team, or participants in athletic programs, that are designed for girls, including displacement or discouragement from sports participation, deprivation of a roster spot on a team or sport, loss of the opportunity to participate in a practice or competition, loss of a scholarship or scholarship opportunities, loss or displacement of admission to an educational institution, deprivation of the benefit of an environment free of hostility based on sexual assault or harassment, or loss of any other benefit that accompanies participating in the athletics program or activity. Further, the Comptroller General shall submit to the Committee on Education and Workforce of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate a report that contains the results of such study.”

It is MAGA, because any Democrats supporting it are only doing so to because MAGA shifted the Overton Window. They'd be eagerly leading or at least simping for the Biology 101 Denial without MAGA, because if they were sane, ethical people they wouldn't be Democrats in the first place.

Are you sure about that? 206 out of 208 Democrats voted against it, over 99%. Democrats are HEAVILY in favor of men competing in women's sports.
That math isn’t how politics work. The democrats have to vote against it to keep getting elected. It’s enough of a litmus test vote for enough democrats that they all have to vote against or they think they will get primaried.

In other words, they opposition doors r mean most democrats oppose it. It means they think it isn’t worth it to go against that faction
same reason we are getting so many far right politicians elected. The math of primaries

Thanks for the lessons, but I read in two different articles, Politico and CNN, that Its going to take 60 votes. If true, that would be the end of it.

I don’t think the democrats have to do anything at all. It’s not a voting on the left and many be not even be one on the right.
'Those against it said it could lead to intrusive genital examinations of the student-athletes.'
these people have totally lost the plot... anyone that plays high school sports is already subject to a physical examination which involves your genitals being examined... additionally if you are trans you've already subjected yourself to this on multiple occasions ... 206 clowns vs 218 based is not a good representation of how the country feels about this seemingly common sense issue ... at least it passed. Senate should do the same and anyone that votes 'no' should be subject to an intrusive brain examination.
