Today, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases that go to the heart of fairness in athletics. The question before the Court is whether states may enact laws preventing biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. These laws, passed in Idaho, West Virginia, and more than two dozen other states, reflect common sense and biological reality. They are also supported by a strong majority of Americans across the political spectrum.
At stake is a simple question: Do sex-based differences matter in sport? The answer, grounded in eons of human experience and decades of biological and sports science research, is an unequivocal yes.
