- Supreme Court rules states can bar trans girls and women from school sports
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state laws restricting trans girls and women from participating in school sports do not violate Title IX or the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The decision, led by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, upheld bans in West Virginia and Utah but included a footnote clarifying the ruling does not address whether trans women may compete in women’s sports, leaving that issue for lower courts.
