A new bill (H.R. 734) titled the Protection of Women and Girls Sports Act is currently making its way through the House with a vote anticipated later this week. The measure would prevent biological males from competing in women’s and girls’ sports in schools. The bill has even attracted some bipartisan support in the Senate, meaning that is should have a realistic chance of making it out of the legislature. But yesterday, the White House issued a statement saying that Joe Biden will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. This statement is the clearest sign yet that the President has fully bought into the ongoing transgender craze. But one aspect of the legislation could provide a watershed moment if a challenge to it reaches the courts. (Fox News)

The White House vowed Monday that President Biden will veto a bill that would prevent biological males from participating in women’s sports should it pass both houses fo Congress.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, or H.R. 734, was introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., and is expected to come to a vote on the House floor sometime this week.

“The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 734,” the White House said in a statement. “For students nationwide, participating in sports and being part of a team is an important part of growing up, staying engaged in school, and learning leadership and life skills.”

This bill, on its face, is little more than common sense. Or at least it would have been seen as common sense throughout human history until just a few years ago. It doesn’t seek to regulate how people dress or dictate what they can or can’t call themselves. It simply says that people who are born as males and who have an inherent biological advantage over females in sporting events can not participate in girls’ and women’s sports in schools. And Joe Biden is willing to publicly oppose that idea.

One interesting twist in this debate comes with the bill’s references to Title IX. For a long time now, starting with Barack Obama, Democrats have been fighting to expand the definition of the protections offered in Title IX to include transgender definitions. H.R. 734 seeks to turn the tables and invoke Title IX to apply directly to actual women as it was originally intended.

The second and more important facet of the legislation is found in its definition of the word “sex.” It clearly defines sex as being “based on an individual’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” This is precisely the sort of legal barricade that we need to drive home and put before the Supreme Court. The unscientific nonsense driving the entire transgender debate can’t be allowed to impose insanity on our legislative process and the laws of the land.

The fact that this bill is drawing at least some bipartisan support could be a signal of things to come. Just this week, Piers Morgan published an op-ed declaring that “The worm has turned on woke trans issues” and the spineless Democrats who support such things now look “anti-women.” It’s definitely worth a read, and the normally liberal audience at Bill Maher’s show (where Morgan appeared to debate trans sports questions with Democratic Rep Katie Porter) actually roared in applause to his positions. Perhaps the tide is turning and sanity may yet prevail. We can only hope.
