It was a sad day with Republicans weaponizing Title IX to attack trans youth. Patsy Mink , whose seat I hold in Congress, authored Title IX & you can bet I will keep voting against bills like HR 734 to protect trans kids & defend Patsy’s legacy of gender equity. #LetKidsPlay
Since the start of 2021, legislators in more than 30 states have introduced bills that would ban transgender kids from playing sports.
Few of them have bothered to get to know the kids who would be impacted.

There are real issues impacting women’s sports, like unequal resources & sexual harassment—but House Republicans are prioritizing attacking trans & intersex kids.
I stand with the Democratic Women's Caucus & Congressional Equality Caucus in opposing HR 734 & I’m proud to vote NO today. #LetKidsPlay

Trans kids are awesome, incredible, beautiful, and wonderful. Bigotry is not. Republicans need to stop obsessing over other people’s gender identity bc frankly it’s very weird and they’re doing a lot of harm to children who are just trying to be themselves.
