Trump Reacts To Supreme Court Ruling On Trans Athletes

“The Trump Administration has fought to restore Title IX’s protections for women and girls since Day One. Today’s ruling cements those reforms and builds on decades of work to secure equal educational opportunities for women and girls. This is a tremendous victory, and we look forward to ensuring that every educational institution in America abides by the law of the land.”

Surveys have shown that roughly 80% of Americans do not believe biological males should compete against girls and women.

The Idaho case was brought by Hecox, a 24-year-old transgender woman who challenged the state’s law after seeking to try out for the women’s track and cross-country teams at Boise State University.

Although Hecox did not make either varsity team, she later played club sports.

The West Virginia lawsuit was filed by Heather Jackson on behalf of her child, B.P.J., a 15-year-old transgender high school student who has publicly identified as a girl since elementary school.

According to court filings, B.P.J. has received treatment with puberty blockers and estrogen hormone therapy and has competed on her school’s track and cross-country teams.
