“My coach should let us know by telling us that we’re going to sit in the room and compete with male athletes at certain competitions. And I’m sitting there and looking around the room and saying, “What do my teammates think about this?”

“So, for us, it wasn’t a question of whether I’d compete or not. I put everything I have there and see what happens. And this male athlete beat me, beat all my teammates, and that went on for the whole season.

The Littlev. Hecox The lawsuit was first filed Lindsay Hecox, a trans athlete at Boise State, wanted to join the women’s cross-country team.

Arimstead and Kenyon joined their respective lawsuits when, like in 2025, the momentum of the nation did not necessarily tend to move towards their cause.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the case could throw a drastic precedent on whether the state has the right to ban trans athletes in women’s sports. However, lawyers representing Armistead and Kenyon, John Bursch of the Alliance for Freedom, suggested that the company would not rely on the argument that trans-athlete law should be a matter of state rights.

He would argue for the bigger picture problem.

“I don’t think we need to do that,” Barsh said of debating state rights. “Under the title IX that men and women are different, the equal protection clause and common sense, that is clearly the right outcome.

So far, 27 US states already have laws to keep trans athletes out of women’s sports, and President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February to apply the same mission nationwide. Bursch believes the Supreme Court decision can ensure that his side of the debate maintains momentum.

“I think this trend will continue to grow. Assuming Supreme Court rules here that favor states, there will be more states adopting these types of protections to keep women safe and level the playing field.”

There is no hearing date set for the case, but Burche is hoping for a first hearing at some point in January.
