It's only a matter of whether citizens insist that the government provide it. So we love being able to serve organizations like yours and the good work you're doing.

Well, we're thinking we're going to win and we're going to keep at it until we do win. It feels like we're starting to turn a corner. But man, Charlie, I think it's so important to go back to the beginning because it does dovetail closely with the work that you're doing on campuses.

of three young girls who were in high school. They were freshmen and sophomore and two boys had come in. They were previously competing three weeks earlier as boys. Three weeks later, they're competing as girls and they ended up displacing essentially 85 opportunities for girls to advance to other competitions and took 15 different state titles in just like a three-year period.

So that's where it started. And it's nearly 10 years that we've been fighting this battle. We have seen twists and turns along the way. And I'm thrilled to see President Trump kind of finish what he started in the first term to again stand for equal opportunities for girls. But we have a lot of a lot of fighting still to do, as you can probably tell, with the cases that have been filed.

And we know that the issue isn't just solved at the federal level. We have to have Congress pass legislation, and we also need to have states fall in line to protect the rights of women and girls. So there's a long legal battle ahead. Let me just say this. We have two petitions at the U.S.

Supreme Court right now on this issue, and we need the court to take the issue up because 25 states have passed laws to protect girls, and the ACLU is challenging the rights of these states to protect the rights of girls.

Largely punted and delayed. I would say that there's a decision called the Bostock decision, which involved whether sex included gender identity in the employment context. And that was several years ago. And I would say activists on the left are trying to use that decision to say somehow that that means that women don't have equal rights. They're misusing that.

And in that Bostock decision, the Supreme Court carved out essentially and said, we're not saying that this applies in any other way. So we believe that the court is going to affirm these rights when it does take this case. The last thing I would say on what the Supreme Court's doing right now is, first of all, they're considering whether to take the women's sports issue.

We have two petitions that are asking them to take these cases. And then the second thing is in June, probably about June, we will see the Supreme Court decide a case called Scrimeti, which involves whether states can pass laws to protect young children from undergoing cross-sex hormones and permanent irreversible harm in this area.

That decision could also impact the rights of women and girls moving forward. And we're thrilled to be able to have helped pass legislation in 26 states where states have passed the laws to protect minors.
