Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01), Co-Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, released the following statement after voting against H.R. 734, the so-called Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which passed the House on April 20, 2023.

“Banning trans women and girls from participating in sports and allowing schools to directly discriminate against students on the basis of their gender identity would do lasting harm not just to them, but our communities as a whole,” said Congressman Pappas. “I strongly oppose this legislation, which is the latest in a series of bigoted, harmful attacks on the transgender community. All students deserve the opportunity to participate fully at school, including in school sports, and I remain committed to ensuring every student has a safe, inclusive school environment.”
