The court’s 6-3 ruling closes the door on any challenges to existing trans sports bans but may eventually allow schools and colleges in states without restrictions to withstand Trump's pressure.

One of the reasons I love Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is because it strips away excuses. It doesn’t care about your politics, your popularity, or how strongly you feel about something.

Why is it that people always come into my articles just to say “read my <insert philosophy article here> and you’ll understand”?
But okay, I’ll bite: you say something to the effect of “you cannot erase the differences between biological males and females after puberty.” I am not arguing that you can. In fact, this case didn’t argue that you can: the plaintiff from West Virginia, Becky Pepper-Jackson, never went through male puberty. She only every argued that aside from her chromosomal makeup, everything else about her is the same. She didn’t campaign to strike down the law either, just as it applied to her.
So do your research before you bring your rhetoric in here.
