El Tribunal Supremo estudiará si los Estados pueden prohibir a los atletas transexuales participar en deportes femeninos y femeninos. Se trata de leyes aprobadas en Idaho y Virginia Occidental que, según los opositores, violan la Cláusula de Igual Protección de la Constitución y el Título IX.

Washington

The US Supreme Court will consider the legality of state laws that ban transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports. The central issue is whether these laws, such as those enacted in Idaho and West Virginia, violate the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational settings.

Currently, 27 states have enacted similar bans, many specifically targeting transgender women. The Court will assess whether these laws constitute sex-based discrimination and if they can withstand the required level of judicial scrutiny. The outcome could have significant implications for the rights of transgender athletes and the future of sports participation policies across the United States.

El Tribunal Supremo analiza el caso de los deportistas transexuales

El Tribunal Supremo considerará si los estados pueden prohibir atletas transexuales de participar en chicas y deportes femeninos. Se trata de leyes aprobadas en Idaho y Virginia Occidental que los opositores argumentan que violan de la Constitución Cláusula de Igual Protección y el Título IX, un estatuto federal que prohíbe la discriminación en las escuelas. 27 estados han aprobado prohibiciones a los deportistas transexuales en deportes alineados con su identidad de género. Algunas prohibiciones se dirigen específicamente mujeres transexuales. Colaborador legal de CBS News y Escuela de Derecho Loyola profesora Jessica Levinson se une a nosotros ahora. Jessica, me alegro de verte. Gracias por unirte a nosotros. Así que, ya sabes, ¿qué es la cuestión central aquí ante los jueces en este caso? Creo que exactamente, como has dicho, si estas prohibiciones estatales son legales y constitucionales, si una prohibición estatal como esta viola la Cláusula de Igual Protección. ¿Esto equivale al tipo de discriminación que no toleraremos? ¿Y viola el Título IX? ¿Viola una ley federal que dice que no podemos discriminar por razón de sexo cuando se trata de deportes en las escuelas? Estoy siendo muy amplio en esa descripción. Pero el tribunal va a mirar específicamente un par de cosas, si este tipo de leyes constituyen discriminación por razón de sexo. Y si lo hacen, pasan el nivel de escrutinio, un nivel de escrutinio bastante alto, que sometemos a esos tipos de leyes? ¿O se trata más bien de una clasificación sobre la base de la condición de transexual y entonces tal vez lo hagamos más fácil para estos estados pasar el escrutinio para sobrevivir? Por lo tanto, los estados están argumentando que se trata de justicia. ¿La cuestión de la equidad ¿importa? ¿Cuenta cuando se trata a cómo los jueces revisará este caso? Así que, creo que vendrá en juego. Equidad, en términos generales, es más un argumento político. Pero, ¿dónde entrará en juego? Una vez que nos fijamos en estas prohibiciones estatales y determinar qué nivel de escrutinio vamos a aplicar, es decir, vamos a, como jueces, ser muy estrictos en mirar estas leyes? ¿O seremos deferentes con los estados? Entonces lo siguiente que necesitamos preguntar es, ¿cuál es el objetivo del gobierno? Si miramos con un ojo escrutador, el objetivo del gobierno necesita ser importante. Si miramos con más deferente, el objetivo del gobierno sólo tiene ser legítimo. Pero ahí es donde, entonces, la equidad entra en juego. ¿Qué argumenta el Estado? ¿Por qué canta el estado, necesitamos estas prohibiciones en particular? Y parte del argumento por los estados es que eso es lo justo. Y ahí es donde la equidad entra en el análisis legal. Por lo tanto, la NCAA ha prohibido a las mujeres transexuales competir en deportes femeninos. La Universidad de Pennsylvania hizo lo mismo recientemente. ¿Cómo les afectan esos casos? ¿Cómo afectan esas políticas este caso, o se ve realmente como una conversación separada a los ojos del tribunal? Por lo tanto, creo que es un separado conversación en el sentido que el tribunal va a ser mirando sólo a esas leyes estatales de Idaho y Virginia Occidental y no buscará más ampliamente. Pero, ¿cómo es en la parte del fondo de la conversación? Porque los jueces son personas, y están mirando lo que es en el mundo real. Y creo que son más cómodos manteniendo prohibiciones cuando ven que esas prohibiciones son bastante frecuentes. Y son más cómodos derribando prohibiciones cuando parece que son atípicas. Eso es, por supuesto, sólo una parte del análisis aquí. Jessica Levinson, muchas gracias por unirte a nosotros y romper todo esto. Te lo agradezco.
