## Resource

The Supreme Court prepares to deliver a landmark ruling on transgender student athletes’ right to compete in female sports, facing off against laws in West Virginia and Idaho—and 25 other states—that bar male-born athletes from female teams. Lower courts previously sided with the students, declaring these bans unconstitutional and in violation of Title IX. As the nation’s culture wars intensify, supporters claim the laws protect fair competition, while critics see them as part of a broader assault on transgender rights. With the conservative majority having previously upheld bans on gender-affirming care for minors and restricted transgender access to military and passport services, this decision could set a sweeping precedent. Students like Becky Pepper-Jackson and Lindsay Hecox, who faced harassment and intimidation, are at the heart of the case—and their fight could reshape sports participation nationwide.
