Hundreds gathered outside the Supreme Court of the United States today to protest what many view as one of the most pressing political issues of our time: men competing in women’s sports.
I spoke with many protesters advocating the protection of women’s spaces, including young female athletes, attorneys litigating these cases, and individuals from across the political spectrum. Despite some of their differences, they shared a common conviction: biological men should not be in women’s locker rooms or on women’s sports teams. Some described the issue as “common sense,” while others pointed to the ways it undermines Title IX. Many also raised concerns about the broader implications of allowing young boys to transition in the first place.

Across from them stood demonstrators in support of male athletes in women’s sports, along with broader advocacy for transgender ideology, including the medical and social transitioning of children.
Inside the Court, justices heard oral arguments in West Virginia v. BPJ and Little v. Hecox, two cases involving transgender-identifying athletes who were barred from competing on female sports teams.
Below is my conversation with Soleil Hoefer, an 18-year-old athlete represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, after biological males were allowed to compete on her sports teams.
