Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cSports are generally zero sum. Allowing a biological male athlete to compete on a girls\u2019 team necessarily<\/em> displaces or disadvantages a female athlete\u2014replacing her on the roster, knocking her out of the starting lineup, reducing her playing time, depriving her of a medal, and the like,\u201d Justice Brett Kavanaugh\u2014who himself coaches girls\u2019 sports\u2014wrote in his opinion for the court\u2019s majority. At the same time, Kavanaugh wrote, transgender athletes\u2019 \u201cdesire to compete\u201d also \u201cwarrants respect,\u201d and \u201cno student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified.\u201d<\/p>\n

How Did Trump Respond?<\/h2>\n

President Donald Trump hailed<\/u> the court\u2019s ruling Tuesday, calling the decision a \u201cBIG WIN\u201d on Truth Social. \u201cWow! That takes that ridiculous situation off the table!!!\u201d the president wrote.<\/p>\n

Chief Critic<\/h2>\n

The cases over the sports bans \u201cdemand exercising judicial restraint, not rushing to answer conclusively difficult questions without sufficient evidentiary development,\u201d Sotomayor wrote in her opinion both agreeing and dissenting with Tuesday\u2019s ruling, which the other liberal justices joined. \u201cIn opting otherwise, the majority extends great sympathy to those it favors: the young cisgender girls and women who play sports.\u201d While Sotomayor said she \u201cshare[s] that sympathy\u201d for cisgender female athletes, she criticized her colleagues for protecting those athletes while inflicting \u201ca hardship on those it disfavors without giving them the fair and full opportunity the Constitution requires to litigate their contentions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which States Will The Court\u2019s Ruling Impact?<\/h2>\n

Beyond Idaho and West Virginia, the court\u2019s ruling is likely to impact laws in 25 states that similarly restrict transgender youth from competing in school sports. The other states with such laws in place are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. Alaska and Virginia have state regulations on transgender women in sports, but not full laws.<\/p>\n

How Many Americans Are Impacted By These Laws?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to say, but the UCLA School of Law Williams Institute estimated<\/u> last year probably around 122,000 transgender youth participate in high school sports, based on an estimated 300,000 transgender Americans ages 13-17, and surveys show about 40% of transgender high schoolers play a sport. That estimate would include both transgender boys and girls, however\u2014while the state laws primarily target transgender girls\u2014and would include students in states without laws restricting their participation. The Williams Institute pegs the number of trans college athletes as making up no more than 1.3% of the overall college athlete population.<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

The court\u2019s ruling is the latest in a string of major opinions it\u2019s come out with in recent years on transgender and LGBTQ rights. Justices ruled<\/u> last year to uphold state-level bans on gender-affirming care for minors, as well as let parents<\/u> opt their children out of LGBTQ book assignments in schools. Earlier this term, the court also allowed<\/u> the Trump administration to move forward with blocking transgender Americans from having a sex marker on their passport reflecting their gender identity. The court did issue a major ruling in favor of transgender rights in 2020, when it declared<\/u> federal workplace anti-discrimination laws protect gay and transgender employees. Transgender sports bans have become a major national issue in recent years, with even some Democrats like California Gov. Gavin Newsom expressing<\/u> some level of support for restrictions. In addition to bans at the state level, President Donald Trump issued<\/u> an executive order in February 2025 that threatens to take federal funding away from schools that allow transgender women to compete in female sports. The House also passed a bill in February that would restrict transgender women\u2019s participation in sports nationwide, though it later died in the Senate.<\/p>\n
