Biden to veto GOP bill protecting women's sports, calls it 'discrimination' against transgender students

White House: 'If the President were presented with HR 734, he would veto it.'

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. H.R. 734 would deny access to sports for many families by establishing an absolute ban on transgender students—even those as young as elementary schoolers—playing on a team consistent with their gender identity."

"Schools, coaches, and athletic associations around the country are already working with families to develop participation rules that are fair and that take into account particular sports, grade levels, and levels of competition. As a national ban that does not account for competitiveness or grade level, H.R. 734 targets people for who they are and therefore is discriminatory," it said.

The statement accused politicians of dictating a "one-size-fits-all requirement that forces coaches to remove kids from their teams," and argued transgender youth across the country were already facing a mental health crisis.

It claimed such a law was "unnecessary," and that it "hurts families and students."

For once, Biden is correct.

"Discrimination" is EXACTLY what it is.

What of it, Mr. President?

Title 9 was brought about so girls could have same sports as boys.

So schools started girls having girls softball teams.

So why not have sports for girls/women, boys/men, and transmen/transwomen?

LEADER of the LAST FREE World, People!

Let’s Go, Brandon! *SPIT*

WHY do these Socialists CONSTANTLY PANDER to the 0.00001% of the NUTCASE population? For TEN votes?

Oh, wait. My bad. It’s to stick it to God and tear down the ONLY Nation based upon Christian Principles.

So, like, never mind...

“The GOP finally has a massive issue they can ride from here to eternity to destroy Democrats on.”

And yet, they’ll FAIL SPECTACULARLY at it, as the always do. :(

My loathing for BOTH parties knows no bounds these days! Ugh!

It’s not even going to be allowed to be voted on in the Senate.

Commies are trying for the 13% black vote + the transgender vote of 2%.

Probably because there aren’t enough “trans” athletes to make a league.
