A federal appeals court has upheld a lower-court ruling that blocks Arizona from enforcing a 2022 law that bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ school sports teams. The decision was made by a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
The panel supported the lower-court judge's conclusion that there are no significant differences in athletic performance between boys and girls before puberty. Additionally, the panel found that the law discriminates based on transgender status.
