Summary
The Supreme Court just ruled that states can ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports teams, siding with laws in West Virginia and Idaho and affirming that biological sex—not gender identity—should determine eligibility. Justice Kavanaugh penned the majority opinion, arguing Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause permit such bans. The decision affects 27 states with similar laws and aligns with recent moves by the NCAA and IOC to restrict women’s events to athletes assigned female at birth. At the heart of the case: transgender girls seeking to compete on teams aligned with their identity versus state officials defending gender-segregated sports as necessary to protect women’s athletic equity. This marks another major step in the evolving legal landscape around transgender rights in sports, following last year’s ruling upholding Tennessee’s restrictions on minors’ gender-affirming care.
