#SCOTUS seems inclined to allow states to bar transgender girls from sports at publicly funded schools, but the ramifications for transgender people are less clear. @aclu.org www.npr.org/2026/01/13/n...

Transgender participation in sports debated today @SCOTUS. 27 states have enacted laws banning it, contending it gives an unfair advantage to trans girls. For prominent athletes, its personal, with big time female sports figures on both sides. @aclu.org www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...

The rhetoric around transgender participation in school sports proved very popular for Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, putting Dems on Defense, with 15,000 ads.

Transgender participation in school sports is very rare. Indeed the girl known as BPJ is apparently the only trans girl in West Virginia who has participated in middle and high school sports. @aclu.org www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...
