The Supreme Court handed down its decision on Tuesday in West Virginia v. B. P. J. concerning transgender athletes. The case involved two states, West Virginia and Idaho, and their respective bans on sports separated by biological sex. The issue before the court was whether these bans violate Title IX and the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

In speaking for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote, “In other words, may schools determine eligibility for women’s and girls’ sports based on biological sex? The answer is yes.”
