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.

So we have to think about this both in terms of a political issue, getting good people in office, then in terms of a public policy issue, getting them to pass good laws, and then also defending those laws in court and preserving the rights of families to be able to raise their children consistent with their values.

We're thrilled with the promises that President Trump has made with regard to the revolution of common sense. He referred to that in his inaugural speech, that we're going to return back toward reality, toward common sense and the rule of law.

And I think what it means for practical purposes is that he is intending to use the federal government to ensure we eradicate a toxic ideology that has wreaked havoc on Americans, both in terms of safety, opportunities and freedom.

The Trump administration has issued a number of executive orders that deal with gender identity as well as censorship and DEI in the federal government. And all of those come together to essentially restore the legal and scientifically sound definition of sex in federal law, meaning that we are created male and female and that sex is neither chosen nor changed.
