Supreme Court sides with GOP states on anti-trans sports ban
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Republican-led states banning transgender girls from participating in girls' sports, with West Virginia and Idaho among states implementing such laws. Two athletes, Becky Pepper-Jackson and Lindsay Hecox, challenged the bans under Title IX and the 14th Amendment. The decision aligns with recent policies restricting transgender rights, including executive actions by President Donald Trump and NCAA policy changes.
