Episode Details

The Supreme Court just sided with states that ban transgender girls from competing in women’s sports, ruling 6-3 that biological sex can determine eligibility — a decision that could soon spread nationwide. Two students, Becky Pepper-Jackson and Lindsay Hecox, challenged these bans, but the court upheld state authority, saying such rules don’t violate Title IX. Supporters argue fairness and safety for cisgender girls, while civil rights groups call it heartbreaking and a betrayal of individual rights. With 25 states already enforcing similar bans and 23 still allowing transgender athletes, the battle over inclusion in sports is far from over.
