<p>On Monday, Democrats in the GOP-led Senate blocked <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-to-consider-bill-to-protect-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legislation</a> that aims to protect women’s sports leagues in schools by trying to keep male athletes who identify as females from competing.</p>
<p>By a <a href="https://x.com/CraigCaplan/status/1896714793031188630" target="_blank" rel="noopener">51-45 vote</a>, a motion to invoke cloture on Sen. Tommy Tuberville&#8217;s (R-AL) &#8220;Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act&#8221; failed. A three-fifths majority — or 60 votes — was needed to cap debate and proceed to a final vote for passage sometime in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;Senate Democrats just BLOCKED the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. Every Senate Republican supported it,&#8221; Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) <a href="https://x.com/SenJohnBarrasso/status/1896713183030894826" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;Americans agree — men should not compete against women in sports. Democrats are out of touch on this common-sense issue.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/9/text?s=1&amp;r=1&amp;q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22Protection+of+Women+and+Girls+in+Sports+Act+of+2025%22%7D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> says it aims to &#8220;provide that for purposes of determining compliance with title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person&#8217;s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.&#8221;</p>
<p>If enacted, the bill would amend Section 901 of the Education Amendments of 1972 by adding two provisions to the end:</p>
<blockquote><p>(1) It shall be a violation of subsection (a) for a recipient of Federal funds who operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs or activities to permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.</p>
<p>(2) For purposes of this subsection, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person&#8217;s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;79% of Americans agree: men don’t belong in women’s sports,&#8221; Tuberville said in a <a href="https://x.com/SenTuberville/status/1894846092828713262" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> to X last week, citing the findings of a recent New York Times/Ipsos <a href="https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/a66cc1cd29a9ea2c/41386e22-full.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a>. &#8220;I hope EVERY SENATOR will join me to PERMANENTLY restore Title IX protections and protect women and girls everywhere.&#8221;</p>
<p>In January, the GOP-led House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-again-passes-bill-to-protect-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a variant of the &#8220;Protection of Women and Girls Act.&#8221; That bill, which came from Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), got the support of two Democrats: Reps. Henry Cueller (D-TX) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX).</p>
<p>If the Senate managed to approve its own version of the legislation, the House would need to pass it, too. Or both chambers of Congress would have to compromise on legislation that might integrate aspects of each bill.</p>
<p>Opponents of such legislation have <a href="https://x.com/EqualityCaucus/status/1896722078944088239" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> it would have invasive consequences, including &#8220;invasive physical inspections.&#8221; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href="https://x.com/cspan/status/1879228470900765057" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the House version of the legislation is supported by &#8220;bigoted folks,&#8221; &#8220;assaulters,&#8221; and CEOs.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/surrounded-by-young-female-athletes-donald-trump-bans-men-from-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> an executive order in February geared toward keeping men out of women’s sports at schools that receive federal funding. The White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-backs-tubervilles-womens-sports-legislation-ahead-of-senate-vote">released</a> a statement earlier on Monday that said the Trump administration &#8220;strongly&#8221; supported passage of Tuberville&#8217;s bill.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, at least now the American people know the truth. Even after [Trump&#8217;s] landslide election, Democrats STILL support men competing in women’s sports,&#8221; Tuberville <a href="https://x.com/SenTuberville/status/1896721877399392348" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X after his bill was blocked in the procedural vote. &#8220;This is far from over. I’ll NEVER stop fighting to protect women and girls.&#8221;</p>
