National ban on transgender athletes in girls’ sports passed by U.S. House panel

Bonamici introduced an amendment which would prohibit institutions of higher education from requiring athletes to provide reproductive and sexual health information, including information about an athlete’s menstrual cycle.

“It is never okay to ask for unnecessary menstrual and reproductive information from women and girls as a basis for determining eligibility for sports,” she said.

Foxx said she disagreed with the amendment, because “this amendment strips out the underlying bill.”
