WASHINGTON, June 30, 2026: The US Supreme Court has upheld state bans on transgender girls and women competing in school sports, and President Donald Trump has hailed the decision as a 'BIG WIN' in a social media post. The ruling allows Idaho and West Virginia to keep their laws in place and is expected to influence how schools across the country handle transgender participation in sport.
More than two dozen other Republican-led states have adopted similar restrictions, meaning the court's decision reaches far beyond the two states directly involved. The outcome is likely to guide school districts, state officials and sports bodies as they review who can play on which teams in the months ahead.
