Supreme Court likely to uphold state bans on trans athletes competing on girls' sports teams

The U. S. Supreme Court is likely to uphold state bans on transgender athletes participating in girls' sports teams, reflecting the stance of more than two dozen Republican-led states that assert participation should be based on biological sex at birth. The implications of this ruling may not directly affect laws in Democratic-led states like California.
