The United States House of Representatives has passed a bill banning transgender people from sports of their gender identity nationally.
This is a heinous ban that could result in genital inspections and predatory investigations by losing athletes.
Biden has vowed to veto.

3 years ago when the modern anti-trans legislative panic started its engine, it was trans people in sports. Now we face 472 bills targeting the trans community in state houses.
We have on record that the orgs pushing it intend it to be a foot in the door to more discrimination.

I detailed the history of the Alliance Defending Freedom and American Principles Project using this to target, in many cases, just 5 athletes in a state in order to launch discriminatory policy nationwide.
This is where it all began.
