Summary
Last week’s ruling left in place state bans on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports, with supporters arguing Title IX protects competition based on biological sex.
Kaillie Humphries — a 3-time Olympic gold medalist and 5-time world champion — said the decision preserves roster spots, scholarships and championships for female athletes in what she called a zero-sum system.
Riley Gaines and Education Secretary Linda McMahon also backed the ruling, framing challenges to sex-based categories as unfair to women and girls.
The decision builds on policies already in force in 27 states and is likely to intensify efforts by conservative groups to press similar bans in Democratic-led states.
