It's Official: Democrats Debunk Biology...

According to reports, The Democrats passed a bill (HR-5) amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.

Among other things, HR-5 would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls, thereby rebuking the historic segregation of sports by gender.

Republican Florida Rep. Greg Steube introduced a last-minute amendment to the bill that would have preserved Title IX’s protections of female athletic teams, but Democrats rejected it."

The bill passed 236-173, with unanimous Democratic support.

There was strong Republican opposition. Republican Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko warned in an op-ed Thursday, “People need to wake up. This radical bill is going to totally eliminate women’s and girls sports."

Fellow Republican Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler and a half-dozen other House Republicans held a press conference Thursday in support of traditional Title IX and in opposition to HR-5.

“Congress enacted Title IX to provide equal opportunities for women in education and sports. All this is erased under H.R. 5,” Hartzler said at the press conference.

According to the linked article, "Three former elite female athletes, Doriane Coleman, Martina Navratilova and Sanya Richards-Ross, warned that the Equality Act would wreak havoc on women’s sports in an April 29 Washington Post op-ed.

“The legislation would make it unlawful to differentiate among girls and women in sports on the basis of sex for any purpose. For example, a sports team couldn’t treat a transgender woman differently from a woman who is not transgender on the grounds that the former is male-bodied,” the former athletes wrote.

“Yet the reality is that putting male- and female-bodied athletes together is co-ed or open sport. And in open sport, females lose,” the three women warned.

"House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a Democrat from New York, insisted the bill wouldn’t put female athletes at a disadvantage.

“Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out,” Nadler said at a April 2 hearing on the bill."

Thankfully, for women's sports, it's extremely unlikely HR-5 will be passed by this Senate...but it shows where their heads are at.
