This is about whether or not people have the right to access their constitutional rights as provided to them under the 14th Amendment.
And what the Supreme Court said 6-3.
The Title IX issue was 9-0, which is ridiculous on so many different levels.
But the more crucial issue was whether or not trans women could even argue for equal protection under the 14th Amendment.
And the court said 6-3 no.
Folks, that is bigotry.
That reduces transgender people to second-class status.
to a group of people who do not have access to the same constitutional protections as you and I do simply because they're trans.
That cannot be allowed.
That is not okay.
I do not give a damn about what you happen to personally believe about the trans issue.
I don't care if trans people make you uncomfortable.
I don't care if you wanna wrap yourself in your JK Rowling books and pretend that none of this is ever happening.
You cannot have legalized bigotry in this country and somehow think that that is fine.
It's not fine.
But like this is this is why I was making the equal protection argument, because these these decisions, these bans, these prohibitions.
don't apply to trans boys.
The states that have banned transgender sports, they ban transgender women from participating in women's sports, but they don't ban transgender boys from participating in boys sports.
These laws, they have literal mechanisms to check the gender
of an athlete who looks to be too strong for the competition if they're in women's sports, but they don't have the same law to check the gender of the athlete if they look to be a little too strong or maybe too weak in boys' sports.
