The Supreme Court’s trans sports ruling is about more than athletics
People think they know that men are stronger than women. But what is strength? One of us might see our mother as the strongest person we know because strength is not measured solely by muscle and arm length. It can be fortitude. The entire premise of sex differences rests on the fundamental distinction between male and female participants. It is an assumption that may fall apart under closer analysis. In sport, average men and women do not compete; individuals do — unless, of course, they are transgender.

U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Bans On Trans Athletes In School Sports
The U.S. Supreme Court, in an opinion released Tuesday, voted 6-3 in support of two state laws that ban trans girls and women from playing women's sports at public schools and universities. The ruling applies directly to bans in two states—Idaho and West Virginia—while bolstering similar bans in more than two dozen others. Writing for the three votes against—all of which came from the court's liberal wing—Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that to the court's majority the facts do not matter, even though the consequences are serious. Sports, of course, are often zero sum, Sotomayor wrote, but the law need not and should not be.
