In a major development that could shake up the United States's (US) sports scene, the Republican-led House passed a bill that would bar transgender women and girls from participating in athletic programs designated for women. The bill would bar schools and colleges receiving federal funding from allowing transgender athletes whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in women's or girls' sports teams.
