Two Democrats voted with Republicans to pass the bill.
On Tuesday, the House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025, with all but two Democrats voting against the bill or casting a present vote.
216 Republicans voted for the bill, while 206 Democrats voted against it. Two Democrats voted for the bill and one Democrat voted "present."
The bill, HR 28, prohibits schools that receive federal funding from allowing a biological male to participate in athletic programs or activities designated for women and girls.
The bill amends Title IX to read, "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." Sex under the amendment "shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth."
"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," the bill reads.
