Supreme Court upholds transgender athlete ban: First reactions

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that states may bar transgender students from playing on girls sports teams, delivering the latest in a series of legal defeats to trans Americans amid a political backlash in conservative states that has accelerated at a dramatic pace in recent years.

The court was 6-3 along ideological lines on the issue of whether the Constitution bars the states from banning transgender sports. However, the court's liberals were in the majority on a separate question of whether the state bans were barred by a federal law.
