SCOTUS hears arguments in cases challenging transgender sports bans

Source: CNN

“The nation’s highest court heard more than three hours of arguments in two cases regarding state bans on transgender students playing on sports teams that are consistent with their gender identity. Chief Justice John Roberts has signaled his skepticism for what he called transgender ‘exception’ for sex-based laws. He also said he the blockbuster 2020 precedent that protects gay and transgender employees from discrimination doesn’t apply to the sports cases, signaling that he is prepared to undermine a central argument from LGBTQ advocates. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that the court cannot look past what he characterized as the ‘harm’ that transgender-inclusive sports policies impose on cisgender women and girl’s sports teams.” (01/13/26)
