President Donald Trump celebrated on his Truth Social network a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prevents men from competing in women's sports, calling it 'a big win' that 'eliminates this ridiculous situation.' The ruling, as reported by the N12 news channel, upholds restrictions on transgender athletes in women's athletic competitions.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday afternoon welcomed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that bars men from competing in women's sports, posting on his Truth Social platform: 'BIG WIN! The US Supreme Court ruled against the participation of men in women's sports. This eliminates this ridiculous situation.' The ruling was reported by Israel's N12 news channel, citing Trump's own post.
The exact scope of the ruling, and whether it applies only to specific state laws or establishes a broader federal principle, remains unconfirmed by the court's published opinion at this writing. The Zioneer earlier Tuesday reported that the Supreme Court upheld similar restrictions in Idaho and West Virginia, barring transgender female athletes from competing on women's school sports teams. Trump's post appears to reference that same decision, though on its face his language goes further — describing a blanket prohibition on all men in women's sports.
No details are yet available from the court's full text, and no additional official sources have confirmed the precise legal language of the ruling beyond Trump's statement. The development follows a broader trend of the Trump-era Supreme Court issuing conservative rulings this term, including on campaign finance limits, presidential removal powers, and birthright citizenship.
