The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases involving transgender athletes in female and girls sports on Thursday and will make decisions on the laws of states that prevent organic men from participating in female and female sports girls.
Both cases, Little c. Hecox and State of West Virginia c. BPJ, were brought by former NCAA female athletes who have witnessed the benefits of organic men in female sports.
The old runner and the runner of the track of the State University of Idaho, Madison Kenyon, was involved in Little c. Hecox after having to face a trans athlete from his first year in 2019.

“My trainer sat in the room and told us that we will participate in a male athlete during a specific meeting and that we let ourselves be known. And I remember being seated there and a bit like, looking in the room,” well, what does my teammates think? What are we doing? “,” Kenyon told PK Press Club Digital.
“So, for us, it was not a question whether I will participate or not. I will put everything there and see what is going on. And of course, this male athlete beat me, beat all my teammates and that continued to perform all season. So, that’s when I said:” It is not fair. “” ”

The Little v. Hecox was initially deposited by Lindsay Hecox, a trans athlete at the State University of Boisse who wanted to join the female cross-country team. Hecox was joined by an anonymous Cisgenre student, Jane Doe, who was concerned about the potential of being subjected to the process of verification of sexual disputes.
The American district court of the Idaho district granted a preliminary injunction, preventing the law from being applied because it found that the complainants were likely to prove the unconstitutional law. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has confirmed the injunction, but now the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to intervene.
The former women’s football player Stetson, Lainey Armistead, who is involved in the Virginie-Western state. BPJ, felt obliged to join a legal battle on the issue after being informed about this and a means of contributing to a trial in the mountain state.
“I have heard of girls and women whose scholarships and opportunities and places on the podium were underway, and I also heard that Virginia-Western had decided to do something on this subject. And they created the right of women’s sports women, and I knew that I wanted to defend this, because, not only for myself, but also in search of future girls”, ”
The Virginia-Western trial c. BPJ was brought against the state of Virginia-Western by a trans athlete, called BPJ, which initially obtained a preliminary injunction allowing the athlete to participate in the school’s sports teams. The fourth Circuit Court of Appeals judged that the law violated title IX and the equal protection clause. Now the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal of the state.
Arimstead and Kenyon joined their respective prosecution at a time when the national momentum did not necessarily tend to their cause as it does in 2025. But now, their efforts have resulted in a chance to influence history on the issue with a decision of the current Supreme Court.
The decision of the Supreme Court in Affairs could project a radical precedent if the States have the right to prohibit trans athletes in female sports. However, a lawyer representative of Armistead and Kenyon, John Bursch from Alliance of Defnding Freedom, suggested that the company is not based on the argument that transhatrian laws should be a question of States’ rights.
He would say the problem of the larger image.
“I do not think we need to do so,” said Bursch about the argument of the rights of states. “It is clearly the right result under title IX, under the equal protection clause and in common sense, that men and women are different.
Until now, 27 states in the United States already have laws in place to prevent trans trans from Girls Sports, and President Donald Trump signed a decree in February to apply the same mandate nationally. Bursch believes that a decision of the Supreme Court could guarantee that its side of the debate maintains a momentum.
“I think that this trend will continue to grow, and assuming that the rules of the Supreme Court in favor of the States here, you will see more states adopting these types of protections to ensure the safety of women and level the rules of the game.”
No hearing date has been set for the case, but Bursch expects the first hearing at a given time in January.
