The Supreme Court's trans sports ban ruling is about exclusion, not safety, advocates say - Arkansas Times

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : In a similar case in Idaho, Lindsay Hecox, a transgender Boise State University student and athlete, sued the state for discrimination.
59% : Instead, they have been the target of specific and baseless discrimination," said Campbell-Miller.
57% : That same ruling required the Court to find an "exceedingly persuasive justification" for discrimination based on sex.
51% : While Kavanaugh argued that Title IX allowed separate sports teams because of the inherent differences between the sexes, Title IX was enacted to dismantle widespread discrimination that had excluded girls and women from educational opportunities -- including school sports.
50% : The Republican backlash to transgender rights picked up steam following President Joe Biden's 2021 executive order banning discrimination based on gender identity.
46% : The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas strongly disagreed, noting that the ruling will not only result in further discrimination against trans athletes, who are frequent targets for harassment, but expose all athletes to further harm.
