ACLU · United States · Supreme Court upholds state bans on transgender athletes in women's sports, 6-3

ACLU senior counsel Joshua Block: 'This is a heartbreaking ruling for our clients and transgender girls like them.'
“The Supreme Court's ruling in West Virginia v. B.P.J. does not govern classrooms, restrooms, or other school programs.”
