Section 901 of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681) is amended by adding at the end the following:All Republicans voted Yes, and all Democrats No, so it dies by a Democrat filibuster.``(d)(1) It shall be a violation of subsection (a) for a recipient of Federal funds who operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs or activities to permit a person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.
``(2) For purposes of this subsection, sex shall be recognized based solely on a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth.''.
Apparently this defines our political divide more than anything else. For at least a century, there was universal agreement that girls sports were for females. Now it is down to Pres. Trump and his supporters.
People are allowed different views on the war, taxes, and other subjects. But politicians have to stick to the party line on this. Future historians will have a hard time explaining why anyone wanted boys to play girls sports.

I am curious why this issue apparently defines the political divide more than anything. Are Americans really worked up about this? It seems to be another culture issue that gets the diehards on both sides going, rather than a genuinely contentious and salient issue.
