West Virginia and Idaho have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review rulings that prevented the enforcement of state laws prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in sports. The outcome of these cases could have significant implications for women's sports nationwide.
In West Virginia, a federal appeals court ruled that the state's ban on transgender athletes violated Title IX rights. The case involved a 14-year-old transgender girl who had been taking puberty-blocking medication and identifying as female since third grade.
