WV teen's harassment claims collide with SCOTUS ruling on women's sports

WV teen's harassment claims collide with SCOTUS ruling on women's sports

West Virginia teen Adaleia Cross says she was sexually harassed in the locker room by a transgender peer years ago, a case linked to a recent SCOTUS ruling that schools may base girls’ sports eligibility on biological sex. The ACLU says the allegations are unsubstantiated and notes the school district reportedly investigated, while Cross’s supporters accuse authorities of inaction. Cross and her family claim she testified under oath and faced backlash from peers and some teachers; most of her school community backs her, but a vocal minority has been hostile. Cross says she does not plan to return to sports as she nears graduation, and the ruling reinforces biology-based eligibility in women’s sports.

Justice pushes federal protection for women's sports after Supreme Court rulings

Sen. Jim Justice, who signed West Virginia's Save Women's Sports Act, says the Supreme Court's rulings upholding state limits on transgender athletes validate WV’s approach and urges Congress to enact nationwide protections for girls' and women's sports. He has cosponsored Sen. Tuberville's S.9 and pressed the NCAA for answers, arguing it’s common sense to keep women's sports for women. The court’s decisions reaffirm existing state laws but did not set a national standard, leaving Justice and others pushing for federal legislation as California and Maine face related lawsuits.

SCOTUS Title IX ruling could redefine damages claims in women’s sports

The Supreme Court held that Title IX allows separating teams by biological sex and to exclude transgender women from women’s sports; while no damages were awarded in current suits against the NCAA and Mountain West, the decision could be a turning point for plaintiffs like Riley Gaines and Brooke Slusser in pursuing damages for past opportunities and privacy violations, and it leaves open questions about Title IX's applicability to the NCAA and ongoing briefs as cases proceed.

Iowa State Reimagines Women's Sports by Replacing Gymnastics

Iowa State University will discontinue its women’s gymnastics program and replace it with another sport to provide equal or greater participation opportunities for women. Gymnasts can finish their degrees with scholarships honored and continue to access athletics services, or transfer to other schools. Incoming recruits will have scholarships honored, and gymnastics coaches won’t have renewed contracts. The department will spend months researching a new women’s sport to add and may pursue NCAA waivers for an extra year of competition for affected athletes.
