Supreme Court allows states to ban transgender girls from girls' sports

The Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban transgender girls from participating in girls' school sports teams, affirming a victory for conservative states seeking to restrict transgender rights. The decision in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and a similar Idaho case, Little v. Hecox, determined that such bans do not violate Title IX or the Equal Protection Clause. While the majority opinion stated that the Constitution and Title IX do not necessitate a complete overhaul of women's sports, dissenting justices argued the court resolved the case without full factual consideration.
