Attorney General Bill Barr defended Idahos law that bans transgender athletes from competing in womens sports. In a statement of interest filed Friday, Barr said, Allowing biological males to compete in all-female sports is fundamentally unfair to female athletes. Barr contended that the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution allows the state to recognize the physiological differences between biological sexes in athletics. This limitation is based on the same exact interest that allows the creation of sex-specific athletic teams in the first place namely, the goal of ensuring that biological females have equal athletic opportunities, Barr explained. Single-sex athletics is rooted in the reality of biological differences between the sexes and should stay rooted in objective biological fact. On March 30, Idahos Republican Gov. Brad Little approved the Fairness in Womens Sportsact, which was scheduled to take effect July 1. All girls or womens sports teams would only be open to biological females, not those who identified as women. The ban applies to all sports teams sponsored by public schools, colleges and universities. BARR ORDERS EXECUTION DATES FOR FOURCONVICTED CHILD MURDERERS, AFTER TWO-DECADE HIATUSThe sponsor of the law, Republican state Rep. Barbara Ehardt, has said allowing transgender athletes on womens and girls teams would negate nearly 50 years of progress women have made since the 1972 Title IX legislation thats credited with opening up sports to female athletesand, along with it, scholarships and other opportunities. The American Civil Liberties Union has filed suit against the law, citing violations of the 14th Amendments Equal Protection Clause and the Fourth Amendments protections against invasions of privacy because of tests required should an athletes gender be challenged.
