The U.S. Supreme Court upheld state laws protecting women’s sports from trans-identifying men on Tuesday. The ruling was 6-3 in the reasoning along ideological lines.
The decision stems from Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which dealt with challenges brought against Idaho and West Virginia’s laws ensuring fairness for female athletes. As The Federalist previously reported, legal specialists, female athletes, and Republican attorneys general “have all highlighted how males’ distinct biological advantage over women puts them at a competitive advantage over female athletes and imposes physical risks to their safety.”
