Former U.S. Olympian and Fox News contributor Caitlyn Jenner praised the Supreme Court for its 5-4 ruling against an emergency request by the Biden administration to enforce changes to Title IX. The changes would have biological men allowed to enter women's bathrooms, locker rooms and dormitories in 10 states.
“The Supreme Court just struck down Title IX reform that allowed biological children to participate in girls' sports. This is great news for girls' and women's sports across the country!” Jenner wrote on X on Friday night.

“We wanted to prevent sexual harassment of girls in the locker room, prevent women from being pushed out on their own teams, and unfortunately during the litigation, West Virginia's role was put on hold just in terms of that one athlete,” Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) legal counsel Rachel Rouleau previously told Fox News Digital.
