Supreme Court allows trans girl to compete in West Virginia girls' track.

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court rejected West Virginia's attempt to enforce a law banning transgender girls from participating in girls' sports, allowing 12-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson to continue participating while litigation continues. The law was challenged by Pepper-Jackson, who argued that it violated the 14th Amendment and Title IX. The law is part of a series of measures enacted by Republican states seeking to restrict transgender athletes' participation in sports. The Biden administration's guidance on Title IX, which interpreted the law as barring discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, has also been challenged by some states.
