The News: On behalf of three high school students and a coalition of Wisconsin parents, WILL filed an amicus brief in West Virginia v. B.P.J, a case currently before the Supreme Court of the United States. WILL argues that laws limiting girls’ sports to biological girls do not violate Title IX. We also explain that the decision will impact bathrooms and locker rooms, and we urge the Court to directly overrule lower court decisions (including from the Seventh Circuit) that require schools to give boys access to girls’ facilities. Our brief provides several real-life examples of the harms that occur when boys can access girls’ spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms.
The Quote: WILL Deputy Counsel, Luke Berg, stated, “For far too long, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana have been burdened by the Seventh Circuit’s deeply flawed rulings that schools must allow transgender-identifying boys to access girls’ facilities. We hope the Supreme Court’s decision will not only protect girls’ sports but also clarify that those decisions are no longer good law—and never have been.”
