The U.S. Supreme Court’s June 30 decision on transgender sports participation in some ways simply upheld the status quo. Nothing in the ruling requires that states keep transgender athletes out of women’s and girls’ sports. Bolstered by the Supreme Court ruling, people who don’t believe transgender athletes have a place in girls’ sports hope to change that through the legislative process. That gap grew as the political debate over transgender athletes heated up, and Lebovitz fears the Supreme Court ruling will only exacerbate that withdrawal. In a concurrence to the sports decision, Gorsuch tried to explain how he could hold that view and still vote to uphold bans on transgender athletes.
