TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court rejected West Virginia's request to enforce a law banning transgender athletes from competing on female sports teams against a 12-year-old transgender girl. The state law, known as the Save Women's Sports Act, was blocked by a lower court after the American Civil Liberties Union sued to block enforcement of the law on behalf of the transgender girl. The case marks the first time the Supreme Court has been asked to wade into debates over participation by transgender athletes in girls sports.
