July 01 Victory for Women and Girls in Sports at the U. S. Supreme Court
Washington, D.C. – June 30, 2026: Today, the United States Supreme Court released a decision in two cases: West Virginia v. BPJ and Hecox v. Little in favor of keeping men and boys out of women’s sports. This decision is a landmark victory after many notable women athletes have shared their stories of having to surrender victories and their safety when they were forced to compete against male athletes. Texas Values signed onto a legal amicus brief with other family policy organizations in support of female athletes in this case.
Mary Elizabeth Castle, Director of Government Relations for Texas Values, said:
“Today is a monumental day for women and girls in the United States. What the Supreme Court decided today was simply the truth. No woman or girl should have her victory in competition or her privacy in locker rooms be taken from her. Idaho started this bold fight in saving women’s sports and Texas will help them fight to the finish on Tuesday.”
Jonathan Saenz, President & Attorney for Texas Values and U. S. Supreme Court Attorney, who was present in the court room at the U. S. Supreme Court during oral arguments, released the following statement:
“This is one of the most important decisions ever by the Supreme Court for young girls, women and fairness in sports, and I’m so glad the court got it right!”
Texas currently has two laws protecting female athletes: The Save Girls’ Sports Act (HB 25) by Representative Valoree Swanson, which protects girls in sports K-12, and the Save Women’s Sports Act (SB 15) by Senator Mayes Middleton, which protects women in collegiate sports. Representative Barbara Ehardt, the author of the Idaho law being challenged at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, has come to Texas to testify and support our legislation in Texas to protect female athletes.
Currently, 26 states have laws protecting women and girls from being forced to compete against men. The issue has gained national support as polling indicates that the majority of Americans believe that men should not compete in women’s sports. The movement gained momentum when Riley Gaines began sharing her story of being forced to compete and share a locker room with male swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas. Texas Values has worked with Riley Gaines and a number of Texas athletes including Kassidy Comer, Brooke Slusser, Jade Dickens, and more.
