Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) declared himself an ally to trans athletes on Monday after a vote in the Senate on proposed legislation that would prevent men from competing in women’s sports. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act failed to obtain more than the 60 votes necessary to avoid a Senate filibuster.

In a party-line vote Monday, the Minnesota House of Representatives narrowly rejected a proposed bill that would have banned transgender athletes from participating in girls and women's sports. All 67 Republicans voted in favor of the bill, which was authored by Rep. Peggy Scott (R-Andover), and all 66 Democratic lawmakers voted against.

The Senate has rejected legislation aiming to bar transgender women and girls from participating in school athletic competitions designated for female athletes.
