Supreme Court Rules on Transgender Athletes | Duluth News

The Supreme Court just sided with states allowing bans on transgender girls and women in school sports, clearing the way for similar laws nationwide and declaring they don’t violate Title Nine. The conservative majority argued these rules protect fairness and safety in women’s sports, while Justice Sotomayor and the liberals warned against rushing to judgment without scientific evidence, citing a young athlete who identifies as female and has medical documentation supporting her identity. The ruling leaves open questions about lawsuits against states that permit transgender athletes to compete by gender identity, and the debate continues as athletes and leaders from both sides weigh in.
