Supreme Court Rules Title IX Means "Biological Sex" In Devastating Anti-Trans Ruling

The ruling will likely give the Trump administration more ammunition to go after colleges and schools across the country.

On June 30—the last day of the term and the final day of Pride Month—the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling that states may ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports, holding that Title IX permits schools to determine eligibility based on “biological sex.”

We’re so fucked, it’s so over.

The Court declared that “sex” in Title IX “cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex”—a definitional ruling about the statute itself, not merely about sports.

Though they sided with the trans students’ claims under the equal protection clause, they agreed with the conservatives that trans-exclusionary, sex-segregated school sports bans did not violate Title IX’s prohibitions in schools.
