Anti-Trans Amendment Puts Women’s History Museum on Pause

The Smithsonian American Women's History Museum project has hit a roadblock. A bill to approve the museum's construction failed to pass with a vote of 204-216. The opposition came from House Democrats after an amendment was added to the legislation. This amendment would require the museum to exclude transgender women from its exhibits. Further details on the museum's future and the impact of the amendment are available from the source. The museum has been in the works for years, and its fate remains uncertain following the failed vote.
