What landmark Supreme Court cases are being discussed regarding women's sports?
That was the scene outside the U.S.
Supreme Court Tuesday when the justices heard arguments on two landmark cases being considered together, the ACLU v. West Virginia and Idaho's Little v. Hecox. Both cases center on the question of whether states can enact laws to protect girls' and women's sports by barring males from competing in them.
Pro-transgender activists argue that it's discrimination to keep men who identify as women out, while the pro-women sports side argues that common sense, science, and Title IX and the Constitution are on their side. While not all oral arguments in cases offer fireworks, several moments from Tuesday's session went viral, including when the pro-transgender side failed to define what makes a boy or a girl. We do not have a definition before the court. and when Justice Brett Kavanaugh made clear that sports are ultimately a zero-sum game. And I think we have to recognize on both sides the zero-sum. It's not like, oh, just to add another person to the team. That's not how sports works. It's someone else that's going to get disadvantaged.
What arguments are presented by pro-transgender activists in these cases?
In this episode, Alliance Defending Freedom's Kristen Wagoner joins us to discuss the key moments from the arguments and why women's sports advocates are feeling more energized than ever.

How do advocates for women's sports respond to the arguments presented?
This episode is sponsored by BrickHouse Nutrition. By the time the average person reaches 60, they've likely cycled through numerous bad diets like juice cleanses, the cabbage soup diet, and raw food regimens, collectively losing and regaining several hundred pounds over the years. You've probably done it without even knowing that there's a name for it. It's called weight cycling. Half of Americans are stuck in this frustrating cycle, and doctors are now seeing it's not just disappointing, it can actually be dangerous. That's where lean comes in. Unlike those expensive GLP-1 injections, Lean is a non-prescription supplement created by doctors specifically for this problem. And the science behind it is rock solid.
I used to be that guy in the kitchen, here at work, loading up on snacks more than a few times a day, but with Lean, I spend less time snacking and more time focused in on work. You know the executives love to hear that one. If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, add lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.
