A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld two state laws barring the participation of transgender female athletes from girls’ and women’s sports teams. The court’s 6-to-3 ruling deals with laws from West Virginia and Idaho but has implications for the 25 other states with similar restrictions, and for athletes who compete in school and collegiate sports nationwide.
The Trump administration, which backed the state bans, has targeted the participation of transgender athletes in sports amid a national rollback of rights for transgender people. President Trump directed federal agencies last year to withdraw funding from schools that allow transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports.
The cases attracted intense public interest, with Olympians and other elite athletes watching closely and submitting legal briefs in support of each side. In March, the International Olympic Committee barred transgender athletes from competing in the women’s category of the Olympics and said that all participants in those events must undergo genetic testing. The N.C.A.A. announced last year that it would bar trans women from competing in women’s sports.
Nice to see common sense win out here, but damn if this isn't still dangerous political time. And that's because three, liberal Supreme Court justices threw fairness aside and sided with the "transgender boy". Unbelievable, but to be expected from a far-Left cult based more on ideology and identity politics than anything else. And with an msm that's gone so far-Left that they're even adopting radical terms like "sex assigned at birth", the red flags have long been posted for what may be coming down the line the next time we have a Democrat President.
