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

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld state laws banning transgender athletes from participating in women’s and girls’ sports teams in Idaho and West Virginia, ruling 6-3 that the bans do not violate the Equal Protection Clause or Title IX. The decision, authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, affirmed that states may set 'reasonable' provisions for sports participation based on biological sex, while dissenting justices argued for further factual review.
