PHOENIX — The ability of transgender girls to play girls sports in Arizona could hinge on what the U.S. Supreme Court decides in another case.
A federal judge in Arizona has allowed two transgender girls to play at their respective schools despite a 2022 state law that spells out that teams designated for women or girls “may not be open to students of the male sex.” And by “sex,” what’s been dubbed the Save Women’s Sport Act by the Republican-controlled Legislature means the one assigned at birth based on a baby’s sex organs.
That ruling was upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
