On this last day of ‘Pride month,’ the United States Supreme Court voted that common sense and normal behavior were inshrined in our laws and Constitution. Naturally, the left are aghast. From NBC News:

Supreme Court upholds bans on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports

In the latest of a string of losses for LGBTQ rights, the high court allowed states to bar transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports.

WASHINGTON — Delivering another major blow to LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.

Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence, that in saying that boys are not really girls and girls and not really boys, this ruling says absolutely nothing about “LGB,” lesbians, gays, or bisexuals. The ruling affects only the “T” part, that biological and scientifically male persons cannot claim to be female to force their way into women’s and girls’ sports. The ruling says nothing about Brianna Stewart of the New York Liberty, famously a lesbian and ‘married’ to another woman, can’t play in the WNBA, because “Stewie” is biologically a real woman. The ruling says nothing about any homosexual athlete not being able to play in the NBA or NFL or MBL or NHL, though there are no currently known homosexual players on the rosters of any of the teams in those leagues.

The court, largely divided 6-3, ruled against two transgender students, Becky Pepper-Jackson and Lindsay Hecox, who had challenged restrictive laws in West Virginia and Idaho, respectively.

The court in an opinion authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh concluded that the laws do not violate either the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which requires that the law apply evenly to everyone, or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bars sex discrimination in education.

“The Constitution and Title IX do not require an overhaul of women’s and girls’ sports throughout America,” Kavanaugh wrote.

He expressed sympathy for transgender girls and women who desire to play sports, saying “their desire to compete warrants respect” and that they should not be “ostracized or vilified.”

Although the ruling directly concerns only West Virginia and Idaho, it is likely to affect 25 other states with similar bans.

It is the latest in a string of defeats for transgender people at the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority.

What author Lawrence Hurley really means is that there is a 6-3 common sense majority on the Supreme Court. That males and females are physically different, in ways which make a difference in most sports, has been known since we’ve had sports, has been known since human beings became self-aware. WNBA games are 40 minutes long, while the NBA regulation game is 48 minutes. The standard regulation height for a men’s indoor and beach volleyball net is 7 feet, 11⅝ inches (2.43 meters), while the official women’s volleyball net height for indoor, beach, and outdoor competition is 7 feet, 4⅛ inches (2.24 meters), all because men, on average, are taller and can jump higher than women. And we have previously noted how University of Pennsylvania men’s swimmer, Will Thomas, was a middle-of-the-pack athlete in university men’s swimming, but once he decided that he was a woman calling himself “Lia,” his performances against women vaulted him to number one in women’s university swimming.

In Bostock v Clayton County (2020), the Court held that homosexuality and transgenderism were protected classifications under Title VII, Justice Neil Gorsuch, a member of today’s 6-3 majority, wrote:

An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.

That was a case concerning discrimination against homosexuals or transgendered persons whose being homosexual or transgendered had no impact on his ability to do the job required, or led to any other legally significant differences. Such is clearly not the case when it comes to the sexual dimorphism and physical differences when it comes to athletics.

The court did the right thing, but the left will never see it that way.
