House Passes Bill Banning Trans Athletes From Women’s Sports!

A measure that would bar transgender students from participating on women’s school sports teams consistent with their gender identity passed the U.S. House on Tuesday. The legislation — which advanced 218-206 — came as an increasing number of states have passed laws banning trans athletes from participating in sports in K-12 schools and colleges that align with their gender identity and amid a wider GOP-led push to enact anti-trans legislation. Almost all U.S. House Democrats opposed the measure, but two Texans — U.S. Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez — voted for it. North Carolina Democratic Rep. Don Davis voted “present.” Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast, along with guest Jimmy Dore, discuss how this issue has turned the Democratic Party into a rapidly shrinking laughingstock as the public increasingly sides with Republicans on whether trans athletes should be allowed to compete in female sports.
