Supreme Court takes up Idaho, West Virginia transgender sports bans

The U.S. Supreme Court said July 3 that it would take up two cases concerning state laws requiring student athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond to their biological sex rather than their gender identity.

The attorneys general of West Virginia and Idaho, alongside attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, asked the high court last year to uphold their states' laws, both of which were previously blocked by lower courts.

The Supreme Court, which recently concluded its 2024-2025 term, said it would hear the cases in its 2025-2026 term, which will begin in the fall. The court took up the Idaho and West Virginia cases shortly after it upheld a Tennessee state law banning certain types of medical or surgical gender reassignment procedures for minors who identify as transgender.

West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey said in a statement, "It's a great day, as female athletes in West Virginia will have their voices heard."
