John,
Just now, A4TE’s legal team submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court defending the right of trans youth to participate in sports.
There are two cases currently before the court that could decide the future of trans participation in sports:
In West Virginia v. B.P.J. , high school student Becky sued against West Virginia’s ban on trans women and girls playing sports while she was a middle schooler. Becky wanted to run on the girls’ cross-country team with her friends but was blocked from doing so.
In Little v. Hecox , 24-year-old Lindsay Hecox sued Idaho Governor Brad Little over a statewide ban on trans women and girls playing sports. Lindsay was a college student at Boise State University hoping to form friendships with other girls through cross-country running. The ban made her participation on the BSU women’s team illegal.

We partnered with issue experts and scholars to submit an amicus brief that details de jure discrimination against trans people throughout American history. This is what Lindsay and Becky experienced: de jure discrimination, wherein laws institutionalize discrimination and inequality.
Our brief is clear: anti-trans sports bans make sports more unfair and put trans students at risk.
Amicus briefs are added to the court record and can be referenced in related cases. Filing our briefs would not be possible without your support.
