Attorney General Alan Wilson supports basic biology in sports

(COLUMBIA, S.C.) –South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson made the following statement regarding the two Save Women’s Sports cases argued inside the Supreme Court.

“Today, SCOTUS heard two cases that have the potential to finally make women’s sports fair and safe again. For too long, biological men have been allowed to participate in female competitions, all in the name of leftist gender ideology. Enough is enough. I urge the Court to acknowledge biological reality and truth and to uphold Idaho's and West Virginia’s laws that protect girls’ sports.

As Attorney General, I have been on the front lines of these battles, fighting to protect our kids—especially our girls.

In September, I joined 27 other attorneys general in filing two friend-of-the-court briefs to ask the Supreme Court to rule on this issue of fairness and basic biology.

We have rigorously defended South Carolina law establishing safe spaces based on biological sex in schools and challenged federal regulations that would undo these protections. Our office will continue the work of protecting children—especially women and girls—against ideological activists.

As the dad of a daughter, I want her to enter the playing field without diminished opportunity. I applaud SCOTUS for taking up this issue and look forward to the re-establishment of common sense to protect women’s sports across our nation."
