Idaho and West Virginia Petition Supreme Court on Transgender Sports Laws

States seek to uphold bans on transgender athletes in women's sports, challenging lower court rulings and Biden's Title IX interpretation.

  • West Virginia and Idaho appeal to the Supreme Court to enforce bans on transgender athletes in women's sports teams.
  • The cases question if such bans violate the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and Title IX.
  • Lower courts have previously blocked these laws, citing discrimination based on sex.
  • The Supreme Court's decision could impact the Biden administration's recent Title IX rule expanding protections for transgender individuals.
  • A ruling is expected next year, with potential hearings as early as September.
