House Republicans are set to pass a bill Thursday that would amend a landmark federal civil rights law to bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.
of CDC surveys from six states and six urban districts found that 43 percent of transgender students said they played sports — suggesting that about 1 percent of athletes in these jurisdictions are transgender.
Steube and other Republicans pointed to female athletes in their districts who have lost to transgender women, including Emma Weyant, a swimmer at the University of Virginia from Steube’s district who took second place in the 500-yard freestyle race at the NCAA Championships. Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer at Penn, won the title.
Republicans claimed that their proposal would be part of women’s ongoing fight for equality, attacking Democrats for injecting left-wing or “woke” ideology into the debate.
