The Supreme Court on June 30 upheld two state laws barring trans student-athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports in a much-anticipated ruling that is expected to effect other states that have passed such laws.
The ruling involved two cases featuring trans students who challenged state laws in West Virginia and Idaho. Idaho passed its law in 2020, becoming the first state to ban trans athletes, while West Virginia followed with its own law in 2021.
Justices ruled that the policies in those states do not violate the US Constitution.
