TL;DR

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld West Virginia and Idaho’s bans on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports, saying Title IX and the Fourteenth Amendment do not require an overhaul of women’s sports and the laws may affect about 25 other states with similar bans; Justice Kavanaugh wrote the majority opinion, while acknowledging the sympathy for transgender athletes but underscoring the constitutional framework.
