The Center Square YT: Supreme Court Transgender Athlete Ruling & Washington Voters
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states may enforce laws protecting girls' sports by restricting participation based on biological sex, marking one of the year's most significant Title IX decisions. While the ruling affects states with existing protections, Washington law remains unchanged for now. Instead, voters will decide the issue this November through a statewide ballot initiative. In this report, we hear exclusive reaction from Washington student-athletes who have become the public faces of the state's girls' sports debate, examine responses from Attorney General Nick Brown and advocacy groups, and explain what the Supreme Court's decision means for Washington moving forward.
