Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025
Bill: H.R. 28
What Personalities Said
Laura Ingraham
Fox News
“218 to 206. The House said biological males should not compete in women's sports. Two Democrats voted yes. This should not be a partisan issue — it is a fairness issue.”
Jesse Watters
Fox News
“Women have been saying this for years and they were called bigots for it. Now Congress is catching up. 218 to 206. Title IX was written to protect women. This bill makes sure it still does.”
Joy Reid
MSNBC
“This bill is not about protecting women. It is about using women's sports as a vehicle to legislate against transgender people. The number of trans athletes competing in women's collegiate sports is vanishingly small. This is a culture war bill.”
Chris Hayes
MSNBC
“The House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act 218 to 206. It amends Title IX to define sex as biological sex at birth. It now goes to the Senate where it needs 60 votes to clear the filibuster, which it almost certainly does not have.”
Jake Tapper
CNN
“The bill passed the House 218 to 206 with two Democratic votes. It amends Title IX to prohibit athletes whose biological sex at birth is male from competing in women's programs at federally funded schools. It faces a 60-vote threshold in the Senate.”
Greg Gutfeld
Fox News
“It is now considered a daring move to only let students whose sex is female play in women's sports. Male chauvinism has been repackaged as inclusivity. Harassing women is now diversity. Destroying the dreams of young female athletes is equity.”
