“KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S SPORTS”

Where it stands

No official statistic counts transgender athletes in women's sports. On 30 June 2026 the Supreme Court held that Title IX allows schools to keep women's and girls' teams for biological females (West Virginia v. B.P.J.); the ruling allows such rules but does not require them. No federal law was enacted: the House passed H.R. 28 by 218 to 206 in January 2025, and a Senate motion to end debate on S. 9 failed, 51 to 45, in March 2025.
