The White House announced on April 17 that President Joe Biden “strongly opposes” and would veto a bill that would prohibit taxpayer-funded institutions from allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports.

The bill would “amend the Education Amendments of 1972 to provide that for purposes of determining compliance with [T]itle IX of such Act in athletics, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
