Because when they make a ruling it will affect a whole lot more things than HS sports. I would presume any school or sporsts organization that is directly or indirectly accepting taxpayer funding.
"In front of the court" *usually* means before the judge/judges. What this girl did was "in front of the courthouse", as in physically in front of the building. It's not a huge deal, just struck me a lazy journalism (maybe intentionally, maybe not) and led to my initial confusion about what case the SCOTUS was actually hearing.
Except a 'soccer star named Grace' obviously isn't an attorney presenting an argument before the SCOTUS.

Given the case that is actually being heard, I agree with you.
In fact, their decision might not impact HS sports at all.
It's so ridiculous. Yes, you may, in some cases, reduce testosterone levels. But you just cannot change height, bone density and lungs capacity. It's biologically impossible.
There are some girls that play on make football teams but they are not allowed to play baseball. There was a girls baseball team on 60 minutes that is pretty successful playing against boys.
If a female can step onto a football field, baseball filed, basketball court or hockey rink and compete at the same level as the men on the field all the power to her. She would have to be some some extraordinary athlete to do that.

I don't understand the girls point from the article.
She's competing against athletes that hold a biological advantage. Granted athletes of the same sex hold advantages but they are not inherent in every single one of them. Athletes that were mediocre as males pose a challenge let alone the trans version of Phelps, Jordan or Nolan Ryan.
If this is not ended it's going to destroy girls/women's sports.
More and more people every day are finding out that humans have only 2 sexes - male and female. And holy Mother of Christ, they are not the same or innately equal.

Except for the fact that the court wasn't hearing a case about school sports they were hearing a case about employment protections.
I've seen her story a lot and I agree with her. I don't have an issue with trans persons identifying as they please, but I don't think they should be able to participate in gender specific sporting leagues/events and especially not in middle/high school.
My old basketball, volley ball, track, and softball coaches are all my "friends" on social media, along with most of my old teammates from all of the above sports and we are mostly center to center left politically and all of us agree that transwomen/girls (girls who were born boys/male) should not be able to participate in female/girl sporting leagues/events.

Why would "women have it coming?" Most women probably agree in theory with Grace. Most of the women I know do. I'm a woman and don't feel that transwomen should participate in women's sports since they are genetically men and have an advantage based on biology. The idea that all women want this to occur is pretty silly of you to believe, especially since it is a girl who is challenging it.
