Transgender Sports Bans Upheld By Supreme Court "The Supreme Court ruled laws that restrict school sports based on biological sex are lawful, with the court’s three liberal justices both agreeing and dissenting with parts of the opinion.

The laws outlaw biological males from participating on student sports teams that are “designated for females, women, or girls,” blocking transgender women from being on those teams.
