Trump crackdown on transgender athletes in girls' sports gets GOP backup in House bill

Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., is introducing legislation later this month to codify Trump's executive order aimed at keeping biological males out of female-only spaces, Miller told Fox News Digital.

"The innocence, privacy, and safety of young girls should never be up for debate," Miller said in a written statement. "Any public school that refuses to follow President Trump's orders to protect female-only spaces has no right to receive a single dime of taxpayer funding."

In the last Congress, however, her bill was aimed at reversing Biden administration-era policies expanding permissions for transgender students. 

With Trump back in office now, Miller is one of several House Republicans working to codify his reversals of Biden administration policies into federal law.

A vote on such a bill could put moderate Democrats in a tough spot - particularly after a few left-wing figures have been heckled by the progressive left for not fully embracing medical and school sports participation for transgender youths.

The legislation, previewed by Fox News Digital, is a brief two pages.

It stated that "locker room facilities in active use in connection with an education program or activity may be in use only by individuals of the same sex as determined solely on each individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth."
