Supreme Court Upholds Trans Athlete Bans
In a major victory for conservative efforts, the Supreme Court upheld state laws that prohibit transgender girls from participating on girls’ sports teams.
The 6-3 ruling, authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, found that such bans do not violate Title IX or the Equal Protection Clause.
The decision directly affects laws in Idaho and West Virginia but effectively endorses similar restrictions in 25 other states.
Transgender rights advocates vowed to continue fighting, but the decision marks a significant setback for the LGBTQ+ community.
