Supreme Court Rules on Trans Athletes in Sports | Minneapolis News

The Supreme Court just handed down a landmark ruling allowing states to bar transgender girls and women from competing in female sports, upholding laws in places like West Virginia and Idaho. Justice Kavanaugh’s majority opinion says Title IX and the Constitution permit sex-based distinctions in athletics, aligning with recent moves by the NCAA and IOC. But the decision split the court—liberal justices, including Sotomayor, fiercely opposed, arguing it ignores the real harm to transgender youth and violates equal protection. This ruling deepens a national debate over fairness, inclusion, and how law should respond to evolving identities in sports.
