Supreme Court ruling allows states to ban transgender athletes from women's sports under Title IX
Summary
This opinion piece by Judith Levine critiques the US Supreme Court's ruling that allows states to restrict girls' and women's sports to biological females, excluding transgender athletes. The ruling, upheld under Title IX and the 14th Amendment, permits states to bar transgender athletes from female sports teams. The author frames this decision as an assault on bodily autonomy, noting that 27 states have enacted similar bans over the past six years. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion upholding these laws under Title IX's equal participation guarantee.
