House Republicans have reintroduced federal legislation to prevent transgender women and girls from competing in sports teams that match their gender, a bill that would impose national restrictions on trans athletes of all ages as GOP lawmakers in state legislatures across the US file an onslaught of similar measures targeting trans Americans.
After similar measures were rejected in the last two Congresses, the bill received its first-ever committee hearing in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives on 8 March.
