EXCLUSIVE: The general prosecutors of 27 states and the American territory of Guam signed memories of Amicus to support defense in a future case of the Supreme Court to protect female sports against the inclusion of transgender athletes.
The Supreme Court agreed in July to examine state prohibitions for transgender athletes participating in public school sports. The two cases he will hear, Little against Hecox in Idaho and BPJ against Virginia-Western, focused on the laws of states that prevent organic men from competing on the sports teams of girls and women.
The complainants in business, transgender athletes, sought to bypass these laws while defendants, state authorities in Virginia-Western and Idaho, seek to respect the laws.

Now, The Ags from Arkansas, Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming and the American territory of Guam all launch their support behind the defendants, as we can see in the copies of the Memoirs obtained by PK Press Club Digital.
The AGS of Idaho and Virginia-Western signed only the Memoirs for the case which is not based in their state, because they are already a defendant in the case within their state.
“At the heart of these cases is a fundamental question: can states maintain laws that preserve equity and opportunities for female athletes? The answer must be yes. Through the country, girls and women are again invited to overcome the structural drawbacks that title IX has been designed to eliminate.
“We must protect these opportunities because the law, science and the will of the public are on our side. We believe that the court will be too.”

The Virginie-Western, which promulgated the “Save Women’s Sports Act” in 2021, appealed a decision of the lower court which allowed the transgender athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson to compete on the school cross-country And follow the teams. Last year, Pepper-Jackson qualified for the state competition of the Lycée of the Daughters of Virginia-Western, finishing third at the throw of the disc and eighth of the weight launch in the AAA class division.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Pepper-Jackson, which took drugs of blocking puberty, in a decision of April 2024 based on the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
Idaho, which has become the first state of the country to ban the transgender athletes of female and female sports in 2020, asked the Supreme Court to hear its case involving Lindsay Hecox, a trans athlete wishing to compete on State wood Female track team.
A 9th American Circuit of Appeal confirmed an injunction blocking the law of the state of Idaho in 2023.
Hecox asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to drop his dispute against the law of the state of Idaho.
“Although practicing female sports is important for Ms. Hecox, her top priority is to obtain her university degree and live a healthy and safe life”, A Hecox lawyer depot read. “Ms. Hecox has therefore decided to withdraw permanently and refrain from doing female sports at the BSU or in Idaho covered by HB 500.”
Meanwhile, the Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador Hope for the Supreme Court to make a decision with a broader impact than leaving a state to conclude its own specific law on the issue. He wants a new national precedent. “I think that’s what they are going to do,” Labrador told PK Press Club Digital in an exclusive interview.
“I think they will have a big decision on the question of whether men can participate in female sports, and more importantly, how to determine whether transgender people are protected by federal constitutions and federal and federal laws.”
