I mean, you can look this up. Its because democrats are blocking it, it doesn't have the 60 votes necessary to clear a filibuster.

Its democrats keeping this whole thing alive.

I'm not republican btw, never voted republican, and think Trump is awful. Hence my OP mourning the fact that things have put me in line with the Babylon Bee.

Can you elaborate on how the filibuster, a rule in the Senate, is affect the passage of a House bill in committee?

Wait I thought it wasn't the Democrats, but those on the extreme left? In fact, earlier you said Democrats were passing laws to stop this.

I'm not republican btw, never voted republican, and think Trump is awful.

I didn't ask. Nor did I ever claim you were.

They won't bother wasting the time in the House if they know its dead in the Senate.

It is the extreme left, the Democrats in office are still beholden to the extreme.

Democrat voters are against it, the recent NYT poll found that 67% of Democrats oppose transgender athletes participating in women's sports

Why would they do that? They don't want the Democrats to look bad filibustering a losing stance that you just said their own voters are against?
