SCOTUS: How will the Supreme Court even define a transgender person? Case starts today.

For instance, the chromosomes don't always line up for someone who is transgender or non-transgender. If they go by assigned sex at birth, well suppose someone is born where their sex was assigned differently than everyone else? What then?

They could issue a narrow ruling that allows states to segregate sports however they want, with the criteria left up to each state.

that. Either because someone doesn't want to compete against a trans athlete in another state, or vice versa, a trans athlete can't compete outside a state in multi-state or national competition.

I think the less frequent they are, the more likely they will refer to it as a medical condition..
