Supreme Court Upholds Trans Sports Bans | Denver News

The Supreme Court just handed down a major ruling that lets states ban transgender girls and women from competing in school sports — a decision that could reshape athletic opportunities for thousands of young athletes across 25+ states. In a unanimous opinion, the justices sided with states like Idaho and West Virginia, saying Title IX doesn’t stop them from reserving girls’ sports for biologically female athletes. The ruling shines a spotlight on real teens like Becky Pepper-Jackson, a West Virginia track star who became a state champ, and Lindsay Hecox, who fought to compete in college. While the decision closes the door on some lawsuits, it leaves others open — and the debate rages on, even as top athletes weigh in, making this one of the most polarizing issues in sports today.
