Top House Democrats are seeking to flip the script on the debate of transgender athletes participating in high school sports, denouncing Republicans' efforts to ensure athletes compete with members of their own biological sex as “creepy.”
The shift in tone comes as the House is set to vote on a bill later this week that would prohibit biological males from competing in female sports by mandating one’s sex to be “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” Democratic leaders decried the bill, pointing to similar legislation making its way through the Florida legislature and other states as being too intrusive.“This is a creepy bill,” said Rep. Ted Lieu , vice chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
Under NCAA rules, transgender athletes are permitted to play on the sports teams they choose so long as they submit documentation adhering to rules on hormonal treatment. For example, a transgender woman may not play on a female sports team if the athlete is not taking hormone treatments, according to the rules.
