How Congress voted

What this bill would do

This bill is titled the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025." It seeks to amend the Education Amendments of 1972 regarding Title IX compliance in athletics. The legislation mandates that sex be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Under this rule, it would be a violation for those receiving Federal funds to allow a person of male sex to participate in athletic programs or activities designated for women or girls.

Yes

  • Scored +5

    Would women be better off under this?

    The bill aims to preserve female-only spaces in athletics by restricting participation to those with female biological sex at birth.

The opposite

  • Scored -8

    Would LGBTQ people be better off under this?

    The bill explicitly prohibits transgender women from participating in women's sports based on biological sex at birth.

  • Scored -7

    Does this expand the rights of LGBTQ people?

    The bill restricts the ability of transgender individuals to participate in athletic programs designated for their gender identity.

What Congress actually voted on

One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.

  • The Senate: a vote to end debate and allow a final vote In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.
