The Supreme Court has established a new nationwide precedent that allows states to protect women's sports.
The justices ruled in favor of West Virginia and Idaho on Thursday against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls' sports. The states were backed by the law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), while the trans athletes were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Cooley Legal.
In the highly-anticipated rulings on West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld state laws requiring student-athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond with their biological sex at birth rather than their gender identity.
West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey praised the court's decision in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"This is a monumental victory for every female athlete who has ever competed, or dreamed of competing, on a fair and safe playing field. Today's Supreme Court decision affirms what common sense and the law have long made clear: states have the right to designate sports teams based on biological sex, not gender identity. Without that delineation, Title IX is turned on its head and decades of hard-fought progress to advance female athletes is erased," McCuskey said.

We will now need fewer biologists……lol
That this is even a thing is really sad. But, the euros are lovin’ the USA. So, how many trannies playing fifa futbol?
But somehow SCOTUS is still confused that marriage is between a biological man and a biological woman.
Strange that such a notion made it all the way to SCOTUS.
Should have been common sense.
What was the vote tally? 5-4?
“That this is even a thing is really sad”
Absolutely....it’s just one more indication of the deterioration of society in general.
What cracks me up is how furious the left is because they continuously get outsmarted by a bunch of White guys from 230+ years ago. 😁
Interesting how the leftist media is framing this as a blow to trans rights instead of a win for women’s rights.
The pecking order of the Marxists is clear.
common sense ain’t so common anymore
6-3…I think you can guess….
Tells you how insane leftists are.
6-3
I am hearing 9-0. Wow. KJB found her own bits?
Though I agree, marriage in this sense is a government or legal stance, religious definition of marriage is something else, sadly many “religions” have lost biblical backing as well
To the trans athlete question I have two questions
1- how many trans men(women) hold records in men’s sports
2-how many trans women (men) hold records in women’s sports
The fact that the “feminists” have no problem with this shows what they truly believe in and it sure aint protection biological women
Don’t what the hooplah is all about. The ruling is that states can decide whether athletes can compete based on their perceived gender rather than their biological gender.
So, in essence, states like CA, OR, IL, NY, NJ, etc. CAN decide that males CAN compete as females.
And that will now be considered SCOTUS precedent. Watch and see how many states use this ruling to pass laws requiring the intrusion of these males . . .
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!
Praise God!
We lost the birthright citizenship case.
FU SCOTUS
Yep, Roberts and Barrett…..grrrr
I figured. They threw Trump a bone with the trans issue so they could rule in favor of birthright citizenship.
