Senate blocks bill targeting trans athletes in women’s sports
The U.S. Senate has blocked a bill aimed at banning transgender women and girls from participating in women’s sports. The legislation sought to define Title IX protections based on biological sex at birth. Republicans framed the measure as a fairness issue in athletics, while Democrats criticized it as a diversion from key issues and overreach into local decisions. With President Trump’s backing and public debates ongoing, the issue remains a focal point in legislative discussions across the country.
