Laws banning trans athletes claim to defend science, fairness, and women’s safety. They do the opposite amunra-opinie.pl

Last week, the US supreme court ruled that states may restrict participation in girls’ and women’s sports to “biological females” and exclude transgender athletes from competing. In the past six years, 27 states have enacted such bans; before the court were challenges to West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act and Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act.

The majority opinion, penned by justice Brett Kavanaugh, upholds the laws’ legality under Title IX, the federal statute that guarantees women’s equal participation in college sports, and their constitutionality under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. It also vindicates Donald Trump’s February 2025 executive order “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports”. That directive withdraws funding from “educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy”. US policy, the order continues, will “oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth”.

Quarter-final action, under way in SW19 from 1pm (BST)
Wildcard Fery extends Wimbledon fairytale | Mail Daniel

On BBC, they note that Gauff hasn’t made a Wimbledon quarter until this year, though she made round three as a 16-year-old. Mainly, that’s because grass doesn’t suit her game as well as other surfaces – her serve isn’t where it needs to be, and it’s harder to hide her forehand than it is on clay, where theres more time to adjust feet.

Pegula, on the other hand, is a better-rounded player, but without the big weapons you need to win majors. Her returning, though. is good enough to give Gauff fits and the two, who used to play doubles together, are good mates, which adds a further dimension to this match. Bottom line: I don’t think either are ready to win this title.

Romelu Lukaku capped the win with a goal and celebrated provocatively toward the American crowd. Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin noted the victory provided motivation after the federation questioned FIFA's decision to lift Balogun's red card suspension. 'There's always a justice somewhere in life,' Raskin said. 'The fact that something happened like that, we don't think that was fair. And today, I think it just brings us a little bit of motivation that we needed to win the game.'

Charles De Ketelaere scored a brace to lead Belgium, extending their unbeaten streak to 18 games. The Red Devils knocked out the U.S. in the round of 16 for the second time in 12 years, despite American players seeking revenge for previous losses. Captain Youri Tielemans praised the team's clinical performance, noting their defensive compactness and ability to score at crucial moments.
