Democrats’ Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make “sexual orientation and gender identity” protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law. Among other things, the bill would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
Sarah Warbelow, director of the left-wing Human Rights Campaign, praised the bill’s impact on high school sports in written testimony submitted to a House subcommittee on Tuesday.
“Opponents of equality in athletics for transgender athletes have argued that girls who are transgender have unfair physiological advantages over cisgender girls and as a result, will dominate women’s competitive sports,” Warbelow wrote, calling it not “rooted in fact” that biologically male athletes will outperform their female counterparts.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a Democrat from New York, made a similar argument during an April 2 hearing his committee held on the legislation.
“Many states have sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination laws, and all of them still have women’s sports. Arguments about transgender athletes participating in sports in accordance with their gender identity having competitive advantages have not been borne out,” Nadler said in his opening statement.

Just when we think stupidity has reached its peak, we are subjected to even higher levels. Of course, this is the end of (real) women's sport...and that has been the end game all along.
The insanity never ends with these commies.
The end of real womens' sports? That itself is doubling rather than quadrupling down. There should never have been womens' sports! What a waste of money. If it can't pay for itself it shouldn't exist. Actually that goes for the arts and music as well. So... actually, the end of womens' sports is a good thing, if they dump the mens' light version with it.
Nothing equal about a guy with nuts playing as a woman.
