The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in January 2026 for two cases, Hecox v. Little (Idaho) and West Virginia v. B.P.J., challenging state bans on transgender girls in girls' sports, examining if these laws violate the Equal Protection Clause and Title IX by discriminating based on sex/gender identity, with lower courts generally blocking the bans and finding them unconstitutional. These cases will determine the scope of states' power to restrict trans athletes and set precedent on whether Title IX protects gender identity in sports, with significant implications for transgender youth participation nationwide.

Key Cases Before the Supreme Court

Hecox v. Little : Challenges Idaho's law banning transgender girls from women's sports, which the Ninth Circuit found likely violates the Constitution.

West Virginia v. B.P.J. : Challenges West Virginia's ban, with the Fourth Circuit ruling it violates Title IX, a federal law against sex discrimination in education.

Legal Questions

Does a categorical ban on transgender girls from female sports violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment?

Does such a ban violate Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs?

Does "sex" in Title IX include gender identity, or is it limited to biological sex?

Background

Since 2020, many states have enacted bans on transgender youth participation in school sports.
Lower federal courts have often blocked these bans, finding them unconstitutional or discriminatory.

The Supreme Court previously refused to enforce West Virginia's ban, allowing a trans athlete to compete while the case proceeded.

Significance

The Court's decision will clarify the legal landscape for trans athletes nationwide.

It will address whether states can create broad restrictions or if such bans must consider individual factors like hormone therapy.
