Today’s ruling is heartbreaking for the trans and intersex girls who want to play, learn, and thrive alongside their peers. The ruling gives the Supreme Court’s stamp of approval to policies that intentionally discriminate against women and girls who do not conform to sex stereotypes. That should alarm anyone who claims to care about women’s rights. All women and girls deserve the right to play sports without having their bodies subjected to scrutiny and debate—including trans and intersex girls.
The discriminatory sports bans the Court has let stand today are hateful and disheartening, but the ruling does not strip away the broader rights and freedom of trans and intersex people. We will continue to defend inclusion and equality for our communities at work, in schools, and under democracy. No matter what, interACT and our allies won’t stop cheering for trans and intersex youth, both on and off the playing field. We will never stop fighting for the rights of intersex young people and their freedom to thrive.
