Description

Staff attorney Andreia Trifoi joins Mark Chenoweth and John Vecchione to discuss West Virginia v. B.P.J., one of the Supreme Court’s most consequential upcoming cases on women’s sports and Title IX. The case challenges whether states can restrict participation in female sports to biological women—and whether courts can reinterpret “sex” in Title IX to include gender identity.

Andreia explains NCLA’s amicus brief, which argues that the Fourth Circuit’s reading of Title IX violates the Constitution’s Spending Clause and the clear statement rule, by imposing conditions Congress never enacted. The discussion unpacks what’s at stake for state sovereignty, federal funding, and the future of women’s athletics.
