Supreme Court Rules on Trans Athletes | US News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to transgender athletes in women’s sports, ruling 6-3 that states can bar transgender girls and women from competing on female teams based on biological sex. This decision upholds laws in West Virginia and Idaho and opens the door for 25 other states to enforce similar restrictions. Former President Trump hailed it as a “big win,” while West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey called it a landmark victory for female athletes and Title IX. Advocates for Trans Equality vow to keep fighting, as this ruling joins a growing wave of Supreme Court decisions favoring restrictions on transgender participation in female athletics.
