‘Women deserve equal opportunity, fairness, and privacy, and states have the right to recognize biological distinctions when those distinctions matter,’ said ADF CEO Kristen Waggoner.
Female athletes, along with two Republican-led states, are gearing up to defend women’s sports from transgender activists at the U.S. Supreme Court next week.
“Women deserve equal opportunity, fairness, and privacy, and states have the right to recognize biological distinctions when those distinctions matter, and they matter greatly on the athletic field,” Alliance Defending Freedom CEO and Chief Counsel Kristen Waggoner said during a Thursday press conference. (ADF is representing several female athletes in the litigation.)
The Supreme Court will hold oral arguments on Tuesday in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. Both cases center around leftist-backed challenges to laws passed by Idaho and West Virginia protecting the sanctity of women’s sports from trans-identifying men.
