Supreme Court: Justices uphold transgender athlete ban

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld bans in Idaho and West Virginia prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in public school and college women’s sports teams. In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled schools can determine eligibility for women’s sports based on biological sex, affirming that such bans do not violate Title IX. Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored the majority opinion, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, arguing transgender athletes retain constitutional rights to challenge the bans.
