Former collegiate track athlete Madison Kenyon expressed that she was "ecstatic" following a monumental 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld state laws prohibiting transgender athletes from competing on female school and college sports teams.The landmark ruling, which focused on state bans in Idaho and West Virginia, establishes that such restrictions do not violate Title IX or the U.S. Constitution. The decision marks a massive victory for conservative legal groups and anti-transgender advocacy groups, while drawing fierce condemnation from LGBTQ+ civil rights organizations.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
