The United States Supreme Court has upheld state legislation prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in women's school and university sports. On Tuesday, June 30, the nation's highest judicial body determined that individual states are permitted to establish eligibility criteria for female athletic competitions based on biological sex assigned at birth. This ruling impacts educational athletic programs across the country, particularly as more than half of US states have already enacted similar laws. The decision clarifies the legal framework for states seeking to regulate participation in women's sports categories.
