A few Democrats broke ranks with their party, joining Republicans in pushing back on the trans insanity and protecting women. Is change coming in the more liberal party?

From Fox News. Two House Democrats have voted alongside Republican lawmakers to ban athletes born male from participating on girls’ school sports teams.

The Protection of Women and Girls In Sports Act, led by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., would amend federal law to specify that student athletes must participate in school sports teams that coincide with their gender at birth.

Reps. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Vicente Gonzales, D-Texas, were the lone Democrats to vote for the bill when it passed 218 to 206. Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., voted “present.” …

Senate Republicans have already signaled they are aiming to take up the bill soon.

The change would apply to all federally funded schools from kindergarten through high school, as well as colleges and universities that receive federal dollars. …

Republicans have championed the bill as a bid to protect women and girls from unfair athletic standards.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., challenged Democrats on the bill during his weekly press conference on Tuesday.

“Everyone’s talking about their children today. I’ve got two sons and two daughters, and we see the difference. Of course everyone does. And it’s kind of silly to deny it,” Johnson said. “The American people sent a clear message in November. They want us to return to common sense, and we’re going to see if Democrats have heard that message.” …

But the majority of Democrats were vehemently opposed to the bill, with Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-Calif., and others dubbing it “The GOP Child Predator Empowerment Act.” …

ThankYou Lord, for this victory! Father, I also pray for those who have been deceived by the lies of the enemy. They were not taught that You don’t make mistakes . They’ve forgotten that You are the One who created them male and female. Give these young people the hope that.Your plans are perfect. From the moment of conception.
