US SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS STATE BANS ON TRANSGENDER ATHLETES IN GIRLS’ SPORTS

The US Supreme Court has upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, delivering a major victory for advocates of sex-based categories in athletics.

In a significant ruling, the Court sided with states that had implemented restrictions, effectively affirming that biological sex can be used as a criterion for participation in female sports competitions, particularly at the high school and collegiate levels.
