Last Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments for two women’s sports cases: Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. Although the court is expected to uphold that laws preserving fairness in women’s sport can stay in place, the exact nature of the decision will determine how useful it will be for asserting the existence of sex in contexts where it is relevant.

ROAR Women NYC was onsite at the protests, joining a diverse cohort that included feminists, women’s rights groups, sports policy groups, gay and lesbian rights groups, conservatives, Christians, former Olympian athletes, girls and their parents, and an entire all-female soccer team to defend sex categories in sport. Compared to the protests we attended in 2024 for United States v. Skrmetti, the side in favor of fairness and material reality had grown, while those in favor of letting men declare themselves female struggled to keep their numbers up.

While we await the decision, male athletes competing in women’s sports continue to wreak havoc. In Massachusetts, a male athlete who injured multiple girls at a basketball game was suspended from a girls’ rowing team for leering at a girl’s breasts in the changing room. 

Dangerous men continue to use the ‘trans’ or ‘female’ markers to escape scrutiny and gain easier access to victims, this time in Norway as a man who raped a girl attempted to change his sex marker to ‘female’ to be placed in a women’s prison. A man who killed a 13-year-old girl was transferred to a women’s prison after he played with himself during a strip search. Also last week, a drag queen and a “trans ally” appeared in court for grooming multiple children and were arrested for possession of child sexual abuse material, respectively.

If you’re curious about what happens when women try to enter male spaces, look no further than this case where a woman claiming to be male was raped within an hour of being admitted to an all-male psychiatric hospital.

More than 220 insurance claims for “central precocious puberty”—a diagnosis given before age 10—were submitted in Pennsylvania from 2013–2024 for children between the ages of 10 and 13. If that number seems low or you’re not sure what that means, check out what our expert volunteer has to say about insurance fraud. In particular, Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania directly admits to insurance fraud on their site as of this writing.

Proponents of gender ideology seem less willing to state their beliefs these days, including this obstetrician who can’t directly answer the question “can men get pregnant?” and all but one of the possible Democratic contenders for the 2028 presidential election refusing to answer “can a man become a woman?”

Over on Terf Island, a tribunal found that the Darlington nurses had indeed had their dignity violated by the NHS, who dismissed their concerns about being forced to undress next to a male colleague. They have created their own union to defend women’s rights, while UNISON refused to stand by them. (Recall that one woman is a childhood sexual assault survivor who was disallowed from banning the “trans” colleage from her hysterectomy.) A woman with short-term memory loss won her disability discrimination case when her career was sabotaged by her forgetting a colleague’s pronouns. The Free Speech Union responded to a cyberattack by a militant activist group by introducing an amendment clarifying that free speech does not include the right to terrorize others into silence.

Lastly, if things seem bleak for New York (like Dylan Mulvaney being cast as Anne Boelyn in “Six”), at least the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights initiated Title IX investigations in 18 school districts, including the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District in Long Island and the New York City Department of Education. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
