However, the bill is not expected to get through the Democratic-led Senate, per Clare Foran and Shawna Mizelle of CNN.com. Per Josh Christenson of the New York Post, no Democrats in the House approved the legislation. "We know transgender students already face widespread bullying and discrimination," Takano said Wednesday, per Wong. Under the bill, sex is based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth."
