The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday upholding state laws in West Virginia and Idaho that bar transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports teams, an issue championed by President Trump.
What were the details of the ruling?
The ruling dismissed the argument by athletes that the state laws violated Title IX, which prohibits discrimination in public schools based on sexual orientation.
What are people saying?
The decision involves an issue championed largely by a conservative majority, with President Trump calling the decision a "BIG WIN" and that it "takes that ridiculous situation off the table."
Many have criticized the decision, since only about 1.3 percent of Americans identify as transgender. Additionally, many have expressed concerns that the decision could lead to discrimination in other areas.
"When politicians convince the public that any girl could be ‘the wrong kind of girl,’ they invite harassment, intimidation, invasive questioning, or even an inspection of their body by a total stranger," Robinson wrote in a statement.
The issue came in the spotlight in Trump's second presidency, after many girls across the country complained about biological men competing in girls' sports as "unfair" due to biological differences.
Now, it is up to the states to decide if transgender athletes may compete in girls' events. Texas law requires athletes to compete as the gender they were assigned at birth.
