On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives approved on a 219-203 vote, H.R. 734, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which will ensure the protection of Title IX, which passed over 50 years ago to protect women.
The bill’s passage would assert “that it is a violation of Title IX to allow individuals of the male sex to participate in programs or activities that are designated for women or girls. (Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs or activities, including in public elementary and secondary schools and in colleges and universities),” according to the Republican Party of New Mexico.
“Under the bill, sex is based on an individual’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth. H.R. 734 does not prohibit male individuals from training or practicing with programs or activities for women or girls as long as such training or practice does not deprive any female of corresponding opportunities or benefits,” wrote the group.
All three of New Mexico’s U.S. congressional representatives voted “NAY” on the resolution.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury, a Democrat from New Mexico’s First Congressional District, claimed the bill to protect women was a “hateful right-wing campaign” against “trans” kids.
“I oppose H.R. 734 because I want our transgender kids to feel accepted, safe, and included. I want them to live,” said Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez, the Democrat who represents New Mexico’s Third Congressional District. She claimed instead of protecting women’s and girls’ sports, Congress should focus on gun control.
In another post, Leger Fernandez claimed the bill was about “legislating trans people out of existence.”
Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico’s Second Congressional District was noticeably silent over the issue, although he voted against the measure.
Never what the people want always what they want… So sad…
Remember. NM went nationwide for killing an innocent civilian by shooting after responding on a domestic violence call and went to the wrong house across the street and broke down the door in the middle of the night and killed the homeowner protecting his home. Remember.
Michelle Lujan Grisham is responsible and all her liberal cops she put in place including letting lec baldwin off for negligent discharge of a fire arem where tons of ppl sit in prison for MUCH LESS!!!!!! FO NM
It’s a good thing those rocket surgeons are in DC to make sure we get our rights stomped on! I’m disgusted but not surprised.
Don’t they look happy to be taking rights away from actual women?! These women reps should be ashamed of themselves, not even standing up for women’s rights. No one said trans kids couldn’t play sports. Let them play with the team of their biological sex or start teams specifically for trans kids.
Only YOU can decide who you are. Are you on any one of the accepted spectrums—neuro diverse, gender fluid, masking/never, only at Costco, vaccination/never, only flu, in the closet/toe out, etc.? Acceptance of diversity is acceptance of life, family, and community. Competition can not be constrained or promoted by sex discrimination, and mandating such creates fear and loathing, and the spectacle of checking what is in your underwear. Let the games begin, keep your transphobia to yourselves, and leave that funny or odd little boy alone to thrive as they see fit.
You are so wrong that you did not pay attention in school. You are born a specific gender. I don’t care if you believe you are a different gender but science has showed that only females can reproduce with babies in them. Males can not perform this if an individual wants to play a sport let them but they need to play the sport that GOD intended them to be. Period.
“You don’t care” your own words is what the problem with people and being hateful creates. Who told you what color you should like what toy you should play with. who made all of your life choices up to now. If anyone other than you did then you didn’t live your life you’ve lived there’s. We are all individuals we are all different one way or another. Do you look at someone and say eww there ugly or wow they are so pretty. I don’t, I see all of us as beautiful. Just as easily as you can judge a trans person for being who they believe to be. do you judge also those born with defects I mean surely God wouldn’t want them born not being perfect like you and I. I hope the day will come when we actually start to love thy neighbor without adding all the clauses we as a society have put on Gods Commandments. As you say I don’t think you listened in Gods school. Learn to accept others who maybe different you just might find out that person is human just like you and me
Finally an intelligent response. I couldn’t have said it better. Stop the hate
Humm. I’d like to know how much money are they getting paid??
Me too
People in NM always complain about their representation in DC yet every election cycle they vote for the same people or party. No chance for change doing it that way.
No one votes for these people. They are put in place. Wake up
No kidding Patricia, yet people still believe in fare and free elections, join the party, donate money, blah blah blah. Kiss it all good bye.
Exactly!!!
They are totally out of touch with reality, how this makes REAL women/girls feel! They have drank the koolaid of the WOKE ideology, which is designed to draw wedges between families, parents and their children!!!!
You got that right Susan. Our congressional representatives are disgusting and disappointing to say the least.
What is wrong with you people. Nothing but a bunch of self serving sell outs. Yet blame N M voters. You keep voting for the same stupid sell outs and expect a different outcome. New Mexicans are some of the most out of touch, backward thinking people in this Country. WAKE UP already. Aren’t you sick and tired of being last at anything good, and being first in all that’s bad ???? Whine, whine, whine but keep voting the same way. We are Never going to move forward. We’re like some poor third world country because of the way we vote. Republicans are not the answer but see what they can do. If they don’t do any better then throw them out too. But at least try sonething differnt because the way we’re heading now is is all wrong.
Sorry Rose, if you think NM voters are out of touch you might be one of them. Totally agree, and it has been proven over & over, these so called representatives are not who the people want, they are who the establishment party politicians want/need in place to follow through with the evil mission that was started many years and administrations ago. Pray for NM, Pray for the children, Pray for our country.
I find it ironic that people complain about Democrats being “woke,” then tell them to “wake up.”
The real reason that the communists want you to vote is to create an illusion of democracy so that they can then blame you for the debacle. Since they control the process through dark money, gerrymandering and outright fraud, election reform and term limits are the only way out of this mess . To my knowledge no country has ever complied it’s way out of communism!
EXACTLY
I just can’t believe how stupid some of the people in New Mexico are we need the old school Democrats to show up and kick these new woke Democrats the hell out of office including our stupid president.
Totally Agree
ALL NEW MEXICO DEMON DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST PROTECTING WOMENS SPORTS. NM CAN’T EVEN PROTECT OUR SOUTHERN BORDERS. INSIDE THIS STATE IS PURE CHAOS, ILLEGALS, ARE BEING PROTECTED BY BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW THAT EVERY ILLEGAL THAT CLAIMS ASYLEE IS GIVEN A TAX ID TO WORK, TO GET FOODSTAMPS, TO GET HOUSING, TO GET AMERICAN JOBS, TO GET SUPPLEMENT SECURITY INCOME FOR THE DISABLED, AGED OR BLIND ILLEGALS COMING INTO THE USA. YOU SEE IT IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR DAILY LIVING. MORE AND MORE ILLEGALS ASYLEE ARE WORKING AMERICAN JOBS. JUST LOOK AT ANY JOB APPLICATION, ANY SOCIAL SECURITY SSI APPLICATION, ANY APPLICATION. DOESN’T EVEN ASK US IF WE ARE US CITIZENS. ALL APPLICATIONS ASK IF YOUR ASYLEE, IMMIGRANT AWAITING STATUS OR HEARING, ILLEGAL FROM HAITI, CUBA, AFRICA.
Pathetic freak show. Sickos.
Fake news.
Only rapists, pedophiles, and elected democrat-communists want men in girls’ lockerrooms and bathrooms.
