The cases involve athletes from West Virginia and Idaho who initially competed in track and field and cross country.
The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether states can ban transgender students from playing on sports teams aligned with their gender identity. This comes after a recent ruling upholding a ban on certain health care for trans youth. The cases involve transgender athletes in West Virginia and Idaho who faced bans on participating in school sports. The decision has put the issue of transgender rights back on the Supreme Court's agenda for the second consecutive year.
The American Civil Liberties Union, representing the athletes, argues that school athletic programs should be open to all students, regardless of gender identity. On the other hand, states like West Virginia have passed laws banning transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams. The Supreme Court will review these cases in the upcoming term, amid ongoing debates over transgender rights in sports.
