WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote on Tuesday on a bill supported by Republican President-elect Donald Trump to essentially ban transgender girls and women from competing in school sports by withholding federal funds from schools that do not comply.

Representative Seth Moulton, who voted against the measure, said that he supports “reasonable restrictions” on transgender athletes in competitive sports but would vote no again on the blanket ban, which he called “too extreme.

The House voted on Tuesday to pass a GOP-led bill that would ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports at federally funded schools and educational institutions.

The House voted Tuesday to pass legislation restricting transgender women from participating in women's school athletics programs. Why it matters: It's the third Republican messaging bill that has seen increased support from Democrats after the party's 2024 election loss.
