US Supreme Court upholds state bans on transgender student athletes

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that states like West Virginia and Idaho can restrict transgender student athletes from participating in sports teams aligned with their gender identity, overturning previous rulings that had supported transgender students' claims of discrimination. The decision was seen as a significant win for conservative lawmakers, allowing over two dozen Republican-led states to enforce policies based on biological sex rather than self-identified gender. President Donald Trump praised the ruling, calling it a victory against 'men playing in women’s sports.' The case highlights ongoing legal and cultural debates over transgender rights and gender identity in education.
