Episode notes

- The Supreme Court may uphold state bans on transgender girls in sports but likely issue narrow rulings focused on athletics.
- Justices worried about broad impacts and scientific uncertainty, suggesting limited remedies rather than a sweeping rule.

- The Court could treat Title IX and the Javits Amendment as allowing sex-separated sports under some conditions.
- That interpretation would let states set athletic policy without forcing nationwide inclusion of transgender athletes.
Multiple Paths, Narrow Rulings Most Likely

- A broad ruling on review standards for transgender status would reshape many legal areas beyond sports.
