Reps. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) introduced legislation that would ban male-born athletes from competing in women and girls’ sports.

The proposed bill, known as Protect Women’s Sports Act, seeks to clarify that Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in federally sponsored programs, applies based on biological sex.
