The Supreme Court heard two landmark cases this week, Hecox v. Little and West Virginia v. BPJ. These two cases are bundled together to decide the same question: whether trans girls can have equal access to public school sports. Imara was inside the courtroom to witness the intense legal discussions. Today’s episode breaks down what could happen when the Court rules later this summer, and the far-reaching consequences the rulings could have for bodily autonomy. First, she speaks with Sasha Buchert, a senior attorney at Lambda Legal who helped with both of these cases. Then, she sits down with Andraya Yearwood, a former student athlete who was targeted by anti-trans groups in 2018.
