Hate Groups Push For National Ban On Trans Athletes

Gary Carnivele July 6, 2026

The Washington Post reports:

The conservative campaign to stop transgender girls and women from competing in female sports notched a major victory this week — and its leaders made immediately clear they will push for more. The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that states may ban trans athletes from girls and women’s teams, affirming policies in 27 states. But it said nothing about the Democratic states that allow transgender students to compete.

Now the Trump administration and conservative advocacy groups are pressing forward in pursuit of a coast-to-coast ban as the fight shifts to another set of court cases. The Alliance Defending Freedom, which won Tuesday’s case, is backing three pending cases, while three cases filed by the DOJ are also making their way through lower courts. “Blue states with boys on girls’ podiums … you’re next,” Kristen Waggoner, president of the Alliance Defending Freedom, posted on X moments after Tuesday’s ruling was announced.

Read the full article. The Alliance Defending Freedom has been behind countless anti-LGBTQ crusades, perhaps most notably in 2003 when they petitioned the Supreme Court to keep homosexuality criminalized. Waggoner’s post below employs a WNBA pointing meme that has gone viral.
