Federal legislation passing the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday has mirror language to North Carolina’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act that became law on Aug.

The House passed the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," which could change Title IX protections and ensure only people assigned female at birth participate in women and girls athletics, on Tuesday on a vote of 218-206-1.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a floor vote to ban trans and intersex girls and women from participating in sports at federally funded schools and universities. A similar bill is also currently before the U.

If it becomes law, the bill would pull funding from public schools for allowing trans female athletes to participate on women’s sports teams.

Republicans emphasized the issue of transgender inclusion in sports during the 2024 election, putting Democrats, who have embraced LGBTQ+ rights, on the defense.

Texas Democratic Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar both sided with the Republican majority, and North Carolina Democratic Rep. Don Davis voted "present."

U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, the lead sponsor of the legislation, stated in a news release that the bill will “allows women and girls a fair playing field in competitive sports by ensuring that school athletics comply with the Title IX recognition of a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
