The trans athletes case draws Shapiro's sharpest sarcasm. He finds the 6-3 ruling correct but the fact that it was even litigated 'purely insane.' Kavanaugh's majority holds that Title IX's use of 'sex' in 1972 unambiguously meant biological sex, that biological differences justify separate sports, and that the Equal Protection Clause does not prohibit states from applying that principle universally. But Shapiro's real admiration is reserved for Thomas's concurrence, which cuts through the majority's careful tiptoeing to say outright: gender dysphoria is a mutable mental condition, it does not create a suspect class requiring heightened scrutiny, and calling boys girls is a lie. Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench — a signal of intense displeasure — arguing that excluding even hormonally treated trans girls is discriminatory overreach. Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented too, arguing Title IX makes room for gender identity beyond birth sex. Shapiro dismisses both dissents as 'incompetent and incoherent,' observing that you cannot maintain separate leagues if you cannot define the categories.
SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in West Virginia v. BPJ that Title IX permits states to ban biological males from competing in girls' sports.
SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that Title IX permits states to ban biological males from girls' sports. But the real courage was Thomas's: gender dysphoria is a mutable mental condition, not an immutable characteristic like race or sex, and it creates no protected class requiring heightened constitutional scrutiny.
Gorsuch wrote a children's book because only 13% of 8th graders are proficient in American history. The Declaration was built on three radical ideas — equality, God-given rights, and self-governance — and the people behind it risked everything. One signer, Thomas Nelson, died so poor he was buried in an unmarked grave.
The Bostock decision — written by Gorsuch himself — said the Civil Rights Act protects men who identify as women from employment discrimination. That precedent forced the majority to contort its logic in the trans sports case, creating a distinction between Title VII (employment) and Title IX (sports) that barely holds.
