BREAKING: US Supreme Court upholds transgender athlete bans in Idaho, West Virginia

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld state laws in Idaho and West Virginia that prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports teams. The 6-3 decision ruled these bans do not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and confirmed Title IX does not block such restrictions. The ruling is framed as a setback for transgender rights.
