US bans trans women in school sports and joins the offensive against LGBTQ+ rights

The U.S. Supreme Court has approved the exclusion of transgender women from female school and university sports, aligning with an international trend against LGTBIQ+ rights. The decision, made by a conservative majority of six to three, upholds state laws restricting athletic participation based on birth-assigned gender. This ruling supports existing bans in over 20 states under the concept of 'biological gender.' The case was brought by two transgender athletes who argued their exclusion was unconstitutional and discriminatory. However, the court ruled these regulations are compatible with federal anti-discrimination laws. The decision immediately impacts both school and university competitions and reinforces similar rules already enacted in other states.

Bias read (Right): The article frames the Supreme Court decision as part of a broader 'offensive' against LGTBIQ+ rights and attributes it to the Trump administration's agenda.
