The Supreme Court will have an opportunity to weigh on the national debate about fairness in girls sports transgender athletes competing on the teams with which they identify.
When the state law was passed in 2021, it was immediately met with a lawsuit from the ACLU, which represented Becky Pepper-Jackson, a transgender middle school student who was barred from joining the girl's cross-country team. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The ACLU argued the law violated Pepper-Jackson's rights under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and Title IX, a federal statute that prohibits sex-based discrimination.
