Supreme Court will decide next year if states can ban trans kids from participating in school sports

John Russell (7 July 2025)

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear two cases that are likely to decide whether state laws banning transgender women and girls from participating in school sports violate the Constitution.

As Them and other outlets reported, the Court announced last Thursday that it would take up Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. during its next term. Both cases involve transgender students who challenged their states' bans on trans athletes participating in women's and girls' sports.

Becky Pepper-Jackson, the plaintiff in West Virginia v. B.P.J., sued the state in 2021 when she was just 11 years old. Pepper-Jackson had hoped to join her middle school's girls' cross-country team, but was told she couldn't due to H.B. 3293, a.k.a. the "Save Women's Sports Act," a law signed by West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) in April 2021 that banned transgender girls from participating on teams that align with their gender identity.

"Trans kids play sports for the same reasons their peers do — to learn perseverance, dedication, teamwork, and to simply have fun with their friends," Joshua Block, a lawyer with the ACLU, which is representing both Pepper Jackson and Hecox, said in a statement shared with multiple outlets. "Categorically excluding kids from school sports just because they are transgender will only make our schools less safe and more hurtful places for all youth. We believe the lower courts were right to block these discriminatory laws, and we will continue to defend the freedom of all kids to play."

Penn erasing Lia Thomas' records signals more erasure of trans athletes is coming

Story by Karleigh Webb (7 July 2025)

On Tuesday, the University of Pennsylvania agreed to put an asterisk next to the records set by trans swimmer Lia Thomas.

In 2020, Thomas ended her senior season with a national champion, swimming through controversy because she is trans and swims fast.

An example of this can be seen immediate on the Penn Women's Swimming webpage. The list of records has removed Thomas, and now includes a note at the end: "Competing under eligibility rules in effect at the time, Lia Thomas set program records in the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle during the 2021-22 season."

In addition to the demotion to an "asterisk" included, Penn agreed to send a letter of apology to athletes Thomas competed against.

This is most galling of all the provisions of the agreement.

Penn, along with the Ivy League and the NCAA, should be apologizing to Lia Thomas. During that 2022 season, she was left to deal with a deluge of anti-trans press without support and the silence remains to this day.

The potential effects to come chill me the bone. According a lawsuit brought against the NCAA by anti-trans-athlete activists, the plaintiffs seek to eliminate any historical record of trans athletes existing.

As a younger man I was definitely not into guys. I remember asking a girlfriend many years ago what woman liked about the male member – did it actually look attractive? She confided it kind of did, although it was hard for her to 'put her finger on,' and I couldn't comprehend this. Fast forward to last year and there was wide reporting of a study / research, described in the regular news about what characteristics women preferred in the male organ. This was an interesting story for me and as I read it, I realised I had an opinion on this question. I have definite and quite specific preferences on this look – and this seems like a big change for me. I suspect it's just a freeing up of repressed feelings over time, as others have said, not something I analysed my way to - just emerged.

They're just being honest, right?  This is one of those governments that has been making it clear that anybody who isn't like them is not welcome, so it would be dishonest for them to continue to claim "everyone is welcome here."
