Supreme Court rules states can restrict transgender athletes’ sports participation in schools

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states can restrict transgender athletes from participating in school sports teams aligned with their gender identity, upholding laws in 29 states. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the majority, argued Title IX’s reference to 'sex' in sports participation pertains to biological sex, while dissenting Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized the decision for its impact on transgender rights and opportunities.
