6/3 exactly along the political lines. How did the left leave peoples rights behind like this?

The first opinions are in the transgender athlete cases. In B.P.J., the court holds Title IX allows schools to provide separate women’s and men’s teams defined by biological sex, and WV has permissibly maintained female sports for biological females....

I think a couple of Democratic states have ballots about this as an addition on a forthcoming election. I'm not clear on the details. Maine was one of them but the Governor scratched it because he claimed there were doubts over some of the names who had called for it(?).

The allegation was that there were insufficient verified signatures on the petition for it to be on the ballot in November - there appeared to be enough signatures at first but some were unverifiable. I signed the petition when they were gathering signatures but I don't know how they went about verifying them.

Interesting that of the nine judges, three came down the other way.
Direct conservative/liberal divide.

It is more male entitlement friendly, really. I doubt the girls who identify as boys as swooping in and unfairly grabbing any places, medals and opportunities from boys. If it were so, the whole pretence of someone being the opposite sex wouldn’t have been entertained for one second.

No, it’s only girl’s rights which are being abused.

Male cheat friendly Maine.

Here in Maine boys who identify as girls are allowed to take part in girls' sports at school. Not sure about college sports. It's a very trans-friendly state for the most part.

Terrible for girls and women then.

There are very few things this US govt is doing right, but this is the exception. Sadly I fear it’s not being done to preserve women’s rights or protect them, but I suspect it’s rooted in homophobic/religious ick. But, even a broken clock is right twice a day…..

Page 36 has not gone down well with the TRAs:

"Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or
girls, even if they believe that they are"

Good! In the same day the US Supreme Court has gone part of the way to restoring women and girls rights to fair and safe sports and also upheld the constitutional right to birthright citizenship. ‘Conservatives’ sometimes understand what needs conserving.

Good news. So will this see Republican states banning boys in girls sports and Democrat states continue to promote it?

I think a lot more will feel able to now I suppose

It's a positive step in the right direction, but obviously still a long way to go yet.

In years to come we will shake our heads in wonder at this madness.
