The Issue: The Supreme Court ruling upholding state bans on organic males taking part in in feminine sports activities.
During her 2022 Supreme Court affirmation listening to, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn’t outline what a girl is, saying “I’m not a biologist.” Yet, she was really allowed to solid a vote within the ruling on state bans on transgender athletes collaborating in women’ and women’s sports activities (“Logic wins, but game isn’t over,” Kirsten Fleming, July 1).

I agree with Justice Brett Kavanaugh that males mustn’t take part in women’s sports activities.
I additionally agree that the trans college students who’ve the need to compete are youngsters or people of their early 20s and must be handled with respect.

Thank you to the Supreme Court for making the plain choice regarding boys competing in women’ sports activities.
There is a resolution that may make everybody glad: Have all of the transgender athletes transfer to states like California or Connecticut. Then these states can have profitable groups to brag about.

The Supreme Court’s ruling on the best to ban organic males from women’s sports activities doesn’t represent a federal law telling states what to do. It merely offers the states the best to resolve the matter individually, as was the case with abortion.
This is one other instance of the Supreme Court’s tendency to handle solely restricted and particular purposes to the Constitution and its reluctance to handle important points broadly and decisively. Contentious points involving sanctuary-city standing, justice reform and property rights probably will likely be handled equally.

Males are males, regardless of their exterior presence. For trans people to be so insensitive and uncaring towards the organic variations between us and them is hurtful — each bodily and mentally. It is abusive of them to make use of their energy towards us ladies.
The Supreme Court made the best call.
Susan Cienfuegos
New Rochelle
The Supreme Court ought to by no means have needed to rule on this asinine problem. Anyone who’s rational is aware of that organic males have no business in women’ and women’s sports activities. It’s a identified proven fact that males are stronger than females.
Not solely is it unfair, it’s harmful. Those extremists advocating for organic males in women’ and women’s sports activities are within the minority. And simply because a male identifies as “transgender” doesn’t imply he’s a feminine.
They’ve stolen enough scholarships, titles and the glory away from females. Let us all be thankful for this common-sense ruling.
JoAnn Frank
Clearwater, Fla.
The scariest factor concerning the Supreme Court’s choice on boys not taking part in in women’ sports activities will not be the precise choice however that three of the 4 feminine justices on the courtroom voted towards the ban.
One of these justices couldn’t even outline what a girl is at her affirmation listening to.
Steven Mendelsohn
Whitestone
The Supreme Court has determined: No organic males in women’s sports activities. The three ignorant liberal ladies justices dissented. What the hell had been they pondering? Do they get pleasure from seeing a organic man beat a girl in a race or every other sporting occasion?
What is surprising is that this common-sense problem even needed to go to the Supreme Court.
J.R. Cummings
Manhattan
It is 2026 and this real-life abomination about guys taking part in women’s sports activities has been a scorching subject.
Thanks, Kirsten Fleming — most Americans would agree that the trail the left has been taking is the trail into the abyss. It makes zero sense to punish younger ladies to let some man compete of their sports activities, not to mention be allowed to undress of their locker rooms.
