Bill requires schools to separate sports teams by biological sex at birth.
The problem
Debate exists over transgender athletes competing in sports teams matching their gender identity versus their biological sex.
The proposal
The bill requires schools receiving federal funds to base sports team eligibility on biological sex assigned at birth, not gender identity.
The impact
Affects transgender students, cisgender athletes, schools, and federal funding. Changes which sports teams students can join based on biology.
Supporters argue biological differences in muscle mass and bone density create advantages. They believe separating teams by sex ensures fair competition and protects cisgender athletes' opportunities.
Backers contend this protects opportunities and scholarships for cisgender female athletes. They worry transgender female athletes could dominate competitions and reduce opportunities for biological females.
Provides uniform national standards instead of varying state policies. Creates straightforward eligibility rules that schools can easily implement without confusion.
Schools following the rule maintain federal education funding. Avoids complex legal battles over Title IX compliance.
Critics argue this prevents transgender athletes from competing in sports matching their gender identity. Opponents say it discriminates against transgender youth and limits their school participation.
Some argue the bill conflicts with Title IX protections and discrimination laws. Critics contend it treats transgender students differently based on identity.
Opponents worry exclusion from sports harms transgender youth's mental health and school belonging. Say it increases isolation and stress for already vulnerable students.
Implementation may require schools to verify biological sex, raising privacy concerns. Opponents say this creates uncomfortable situations and intrusive procedures for students.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
