"It just shows the breadth of these laws,"
"It's not just about trophies and competitions. It's even just the mere presence of trans girls on girls teams that's bothering these states and these advocates on the other side."
"We're not conceding that somebody that has gone through puberty shouldn't be able to participate,"
Conservative claims assert transgender women and girls have hormonal advantages that justify bans from girls' sports teams. Two legal challenges, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., confront such bans: one involves a college athlete who failed to make a Boise State team yet was barred from a club team by a 2020 Idaho law; the other involves a 15-year-old who transitioned before male puberty and is barred from her high school track. The ACLU and Lambda Legal will argue at the Supreme Court that the laws violated the girls' rights. Lawyers will emphasize these plaintiffs' circumstances and contest blanket assumptions about athletic advantages, while noting the ruling could be limited in scope.
