Transgender athletes still protected in California, Supreme Court rules
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that California can maintain its policy allowing transgender student athletes to participate in girls’ and women’s sports teams. The decision permits but does not require states to restrict transgender athletes from these teams, upholding state laws in Idaho and West Virginia. LGBTQ advocates praised the ruling for protecting inclusive policies, while opponents argued it fails to safeguard girls’ sports opportunities.
