  • The House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency had been tasked with investigating the federal government's efficiency. Now, it's looking into trans women's participation in sports.

The House Doge Subcommittee on Gender in Sports convened to address the contentious issue of transgender athletes' participation in sports, reflecting broader societal debates on fairness, inclusion, and competitive integrity. During the session, various stakeholders, including athletes, sports organizations, and advocacy groups, presented their views. Some argued that transgender women have physical advantages that could undermine the fairness of women's sports, while others emphasized the importance of inclusivity and the right of transgender individuals to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity. The subcommittee also discussed potential legislative measures, such as the proposed "Fairness in Women's Sports Act," which aims to restrict transgender women from competing in women's sports at the collegiate and professional levels. The hearing highlighted the ongoing struggle to balance competing values in the realm of sports and gender identity.
