Supreme Court to Decide if States Can Protect Women’s Sports

Common sense is once again on trial this time at the Supreme Court, where two cases could determine whether states have the right to protect women’s sports from the ongoing assault by the radical Left’s gender ideology.

On Monday, leading Republican Attorneys General joined forces with outspoken female athletes like Riley Gaines to warn that the cases being argued before the Court could set a dangerous precedent for the future of girls’ sports, women’s privacy, and basic biological truth.

West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey didn’t mince words: “West Virginia’s law makes sure that every single woman and girl in West Virginia has a safe and fair playing field.” That’s what’s on the line in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox the ability for states to draw the most obvious of lines: biological males don’t belong in female sports, locker rooms, or bathrooms.

These laws, passed in 27 states, are under siege from leftist activists who continue to push the absurd idea that gender is a matter of identity, not biology. The cases before the Court don’t force states to separate sports by sex they simply ask whether states can.

As Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen stated bluntly, “Women’s rights are under attack by the radical Left.” He emphasized that the push to allow men into women’s spaces isn’t progress it’s regression disguised in the language of inclusivity.

Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer who was forced to compete against Lia Thomas a biological male made it personal. And raw.

“I’m pissed off that we’ve reached a point where we seemingly have an entire political party who has diminished and erased our rights as women,” Gaines said. “That’s exactly what this is. Don’t let them frame it any other way.”

She’s right. This is not about inclusion it’s about erasure. It's about prioritizing the feelings of a small group of activists over the rights, safety, and dignity of millions of women and girls.

Here’s what’s at stake:

• Whether states can keep biological males out of women’s locker rooms and restrooms.

• Whether girls can compete in sports on a level playing field without unfair male competition.

• Whether the judicial system will side with facts or fantasy.

A recent Gallup poll found that 69% of Americans believe trans-identifying athletes should compete according to their biological sex not their chosen identity. Another poll by Pew Research revealed that 60% of U.S. adults believe a person’s gender is determined by their sex at birth. The American people know what’s right it’s the political elites who are out of step.

Gaines summed up the frustration shared by millions “We are fighting for the bare minimum here. Can we allow ourselves to be vulnerable in an intimate area of undressing such as a locker room without having to fear a man walking into that space?”

That’s the question the Supreme Court must now answer. And for the sake of truth, fairness, and the safety of women and girls everywhere they better get it right.
