If you listened? What gives you hope they will reign this in?

If they buy this garbage, Title 9 becomes meaningless.

They will protect Title 9.

After the SCOTUS empowered
Eminent Domain and criminalized emotions anything is possible.

Didn't listen but have seen a few articles from observers that think Roberts and the majority will ban tranny males from women's sports.

No way the sane members of the court are going to let boys continue to beat up on girls.

Shouldn't Justice Affirmative Action Jackson be REQUIRED to recuse herself from considering this lawsuit? She’s already admitted that she cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman. She cannot even define what a woman is. Therefore, how in the f*ck can she possibly render a non-biased and logical decision in this case?

Very hopeful they rule that males with mental illness can't play in women's sports.

Ironically, when she said that she accidentally agreed with Conservatives when she said "I'm not a biologist" indicating that biology is in fact the determining factor.

Alito says, "how can you allege discrimination based on sex if you cannot even define what sex is?"

They protect Title 9. Affirmative Action Jackson will be the lone vote against it.

Oral arguments were interesting and unbelievable at times. The fact this case is even at the United States Supreme Court is preposterous.

My prediction is 6-3 ban, maybe 5-4, depending on how compromised Roberts is.

I believe that more often than not, its going to be 5-4 simply based on common sense. ACB is now the wildcard and seems to swing things.

Will they ban it? Or will they say it is ok for states to ban it? Big difference. I honestly haven’t been paying attention.

Bostock v. Clayton County says not so fast my friend:

quote:

Justice Neil Gorsuch delivered the opinion of the Court in this case on June 15, 2020.[31] In a 6–3 decision, the Court held that Title VII protections pursuant to § 2000e-2(a)(1) did extend to cover sexual orientation and gender identity. The decision then involved the statutory interpretation of Title VII (specifically the original meaning of "sex"),[32] not constitutional law as in other recent landmark cases involving the rights of LGBTQ individuals such as Obergefell v. Hodges.[33][34] The Court further held that Title VII protections against sex discrimination in the employment context apply to discrimination against particular individuals on the basis of sex, as opposed to discrimination against groups.[35] Thus, Title VII provides a remedy to individuals who experience discrimination on the basis of sex even if an employer's policy on the whole does not involve discrimination. Gorsuch wrote:

quote:

An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids. Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result. But the limits of the drafters' imagination supply no reason to ignore the law's demands. Only the written word is the law, and all persons are entitled to its benefit


In his opinion, Gorsuch wrote, "it is irrelevant what an employer might call its discriminatory practice, how others might label it, or what else might motivate it."[32] He referenced Phillips v. Martin Marietta Corp., in which a company refused to hire women with young children; and City of L.A. Dep't of Water & Power v. Manhart, in which an employer required women to make larger pension fund contributions than did men, on the premise that women on average live longer than men do. Both cases violated Title VII, and Gorsuch wrote, "just as labels and additional intentions or motivations didn't make a difference in Manhart or Phillips, they cannot make a difference here."[32]

Gorsuch's decision also alluded to concerns that the judgment may set a sweeping precedent that would force gender equality on traditional practices. "They say sex-segregated bathrooms, locker rooms, and dress codes will prove unsustainable after our decision today but none of these other laws are before us; we have not had the benefit of adversarial testing about the meaning of their terms, and we do not prejudge any such question today."


They already had a bite at this apple and ignored the clear statutory meaning of "sex".

Well then these cases give the court the perfect opportunity to fix this shite.

Title VII is not Title IX.

There is a chance that you get enough justices to determine that the laws in question discriminate on the basis of sex because only females will have their biological status checked. But that seems to me unlikely.

The Equal Protection claim is the big one - and given the recent gender affirming treatment for kids case, I don't see this Court making trans a protected status.

The Title IX claims might allow an opening for trans-rights position - where you can have an individualized assessment of whether a trans woman who wants to compete actually has the physical advantages that the laws purport to ban. If not, then it can compete.

And again, that opens it up to a local person making decisions.

What science will back the people making the determination? The one that backs what they are promoting.

Studies show that it is not just test that makes a male different. Bone, muscle fibers...etc
