Conservatives Hail Justice Thomas for 'Truth Bomb' About Ruling Protecting Women's Sports

Conservative figures hailed Clarence Thomas’s concurrence as a defense of biological sex after the court ruled 6-3 on transgender athletes.

  • On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow states to ban transgender girls from competing in sports at publicly funded schools, determining Title IX permits participation restrictions based on sex assigned at birth.
  • In a concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas joined the majority, writing that 'men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls' and asserting sex is an immutable biological characteristic.
  • Celebrating the decision as a 'victory,' Riley Gaines praised the ruling alongside Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who lauded Thomas' 'truth, fact, and common sense' in the opinion.
  • The American Civil Liberties Union expressed 'heartbreak' over the ruling, while Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, arguing the decision undermines equal protection.
  • For Gaines, who rose to prominence after competing against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in 2022, the Supreme Court's ruling validates her ongoing campaign for sex-segregated sports.
