Quick Glance: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports
- A federal appeals court has overturned a ban on transgender individuals participating in sports in West Virginia, citing a violation of Title IX.
- The court ruled that the law cannot lawfully be applied to a 13-year-old girl who has identified as female since the third grade.
- The decision favored the American Civil Liberties Union, its West Virginia chapter, and the LGBTQ advocacy group Lambda Legal, who filed a lawsuit in 2021.
- West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.

Quick Glance: Clash Over Transgender Youth Rights Escalates in Kansas
- The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.
- The Republican-led legislature is expected to push for an override of the veto. The legislation halted by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly would prohibit hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under 18.
- Last year, Kelly vetoed four bills imposing restrictions on transgender individuals, including measures preventing transgender girls and women from participating in female K-12 and college sports teams, and ending legal recognition of transgender identities in the state.
- In recent years, an unprecedented number of bills targeting transgender individuals have been introduced in state legislatures. Lawmakers introduced nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills during the 2024 legislative session, as reported by the American Civil Liberties Union. By May 2023, legislators had introduced over 400 such bills, a significant increase from about 150 in 2022.
