On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that laws passed in 27 States banning boys from taking over girls sports were in keeping with Title IX (a 50 year old law intended to provide girls with equal opportunities in sports and academics) and with the Fourteen Amendment to the US Constitution (a 150 year old law that requires equal treatment of protected classes). The Supreme Court found that States could ban boys from girls sports in order to protect their safety and in order to provide girls with fair sports activities. In this article, we will first explain why allowing boys to compete in girls sports harms both boys and girls. We will then explain why the Supreme Court ruling will be ignored here in Washington state. We will then review why the Girls Rights Initiative on the Fall 2026 ballot will also fail to protect our girls from boys invading girls sports. Finally, we will explain the steps needed to actually restore fairness to girls sports in our state.
Why allowing boys to compete in girls sports harms ALL boys and ALL girls
The reason boys are allowed to compete against girls in girls sports is due to an extremely dishonest term called “Gender Identity” – a term that was made up by a group of extremely evil and badly misinformed people that can best be described as the “Trans Drug Cult.” The goal of the Trans Drug Cult is to get kids with mental health problems hooked on taking toxic Trans Drugs such as Puberty Blockers and Cross Sex Hormones – Drugs that make billions of dollars for Drug corporations.
The most harmful lie being pushed on our kids by the Trans Drug Cult is that they can change their sex simply by changing their pronouns and then taking Trans Drugs for the next 50 years. Once the kids are hooked on the drugs, they are later told they will need to chop off some of their body parts. They and their parents are told that if they take the drugs and chop off their body parts, it will reduce their risk of committing suicide. In fact, numerous studies have shown that taking these drugs and chopping off body parts actually INCREASES the risk that the child will commit suicide.
Equally important, there are more than 6,500 genetic differences between boys and girls. These huge genetic differences begin just days after conception and affect nearly every organ in the body. For example, the mitochondria in males (any baby with a Y chromosome) process ATP at a higher rate than in girls and this difference appears just 7 days after conception. This difference allows males to multiply cells faster and to grow faster. This is likely why male babies weigh more than female babies at birth (3.3 kg versus 3.2 kg) and also weighs 7 percent more at the age of 12 months (9.6 kg versus 8.9 kg). Giving a boy puberty blockers and cross sex hormones affects only a couple of these 6500 genetic differences. This is why males at all ages and regardless of the drugs they take have physical advantages over girls. This physical advantage not only predate puberty – but predate birth by nearly 9 months!
Another grotesque lie being told by the Trans Drug Cult is that Transgenderism is due to a child having a genetic abnormality called Intersex. The Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction actually posted a video on YouTube making this insane claim.
In fact, a genetic study of more than 1,000 Transgender kids found that none of them suffered from this genetic abnormality. Instead, dozens of scientific studies have consistently found that kids who were unhappy with their sex tended to suffer from Adverse Childhood Events at rates that were twice as high as kids who were contend with their sex. In short, there are no Transgender kids. Instead kids suffering from gender unhappiness need counseling – not Trans Cult lies and not toxic Trans Drugs.
All children deserve to be told the scientific truth: There is no way for a boy to be magically turned into a girl and there is no way for a girl to be magically turned into a boy no matter how many drugs they take. We have more than one million children attending our public schools here in Washington state. They are ALL being harmed by the lies that they have been told by the Trans Drug Cult. For a boy to be allowed to compete against girls not only harms girls by taking away their right to fair sports competition – it also harms the boy by sending him down a path that actually increases his risk of suicide. Allowing boys to compete in girls sports must be called what is is: State Sponsored Child Abuse.
Why the Supreme Court Girls Rights ruling will be ignored here in Washington state
In the June 30, 2026 Supreme Court ruling, the majority opinion stated: “These cases do not present the distinct question of whether, under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, schools may allow biological males who identify as female to participate on girls’ and women’s sports teams. That question is currently the subject of litigation in some lower courts.”
In plain English, while the Supreme Court decision protects girls from boys in the 27 States that have laws protecting girls from boys competing in girls sports. Here are these 27 states in dark brown:
Note that Washington is colored in yellow. Washington is therefore a state that does not yet protect girls from boys competing in girls sports. The yellow states not only allow boys to compete in girls sports but they also all boys to enter girls bathrooms and locker rooms.
To remind us that girls are not and will not be protected here in Washington state, School Superintendent, Chris Reykdal, issued the following statement: “The Court upheld the right of states to ban transgender girls from participating in school-based athletics in alignment with their gender identity — effectively also upholding the right of states to allow students to participate in athletics in alignment with their gender identity. Washington state law has robust protections against discrimination for public school students, which has included discrimination based on gender identity for two decades. These protections fit within the scope of what is allowed by federal law and today’s ruling… Today’s decision reinforces Washington state’s ability to adopt and implement our own laws in alignment with our values. I will continue to uphold Washington’s law unless or until the law changes. Should voters pass IL26-638 this November, it is likely to be challenged in court.”
Be warned that most of what Reykdal said above is false. For example, the Supreme Court did not say that “states can allow students to participate in sports in alignment with their gender identity.” What the court said was that this questions was still being litigated in the lower courts and thus is not yet before the Supreme Court to decide.
In addition, the Supreme Court decision actually said the opposite of what Reykdal said in the rest of his statement. While Washington does have a 20 year old law claiming that Transgenderism is a protected class, the Supreme Court specifically stated that that Transgenderism is not a protected class under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution – because Transgenderism is not an “enduring characteristic.” The only three classes protected from discrimination under the 14th Amendment are Race (aka skin color), country of origin (for example Irish people) and biological women – people without a Y chromosome) - a group that includes girls. While the Supreme Court ruling did not make a final ruling on this issue, it is logical not only under Title IX but also under the 14th Amendment that biological girls should be protected from discrimination by not being forced to compete against boys – an extremely unfair competition that males are almost certain to win.
As for his last sentence, Reykdal is correct that the Girls Rights Initiative that will be on the 2026 Fall Ballot will certainly be challenged in Court. So we will cover this subject next.
Why the Girls Rights Initiative on the Fall 2026 ballot will also fail to protect our girls from boys invading girls sports
To put in bluntly, the Girls Rights Initiative on the Fall 2026 ballot was badly written. Reykdal and everyone else in the Trans Drug Cult knows this which is why they are not worried about it.
Reykdal even pointed out the problem in his statement above: “Washington state law has robust protections against discrimination for public school students, which has included discrimination based on gender identity for two decades.”
The so-called Girls Rights Initiative claims that it will prohibit biological males from participating in girls sports. However, as I have been warning for more than a year, the Initiative suffers from a fatal flaw. It does not even mention any of the laws on gender identity. Instead, it “silently amends” these gender identity laws Reykdal referred to.
The problem with both the 2026 Parents Rights and Girls Rights Initiatives is that both silently amend a series of “Gender Identity” laws passed in our state in recent years. These laws designated “gender identity” as a “protected class” in our state. Being a protected class gave these individuals certain controversial rights which have been mandated as Washington School Policy 3211-P. Both Initiatives, by ignoring these “gender identity” laws and policies, silently conflict with several current laws and are therefore likely to be ruled unconstitutional should they be approved by the voters and then challenged in court.
This sad result will be a huge set back for both Parents Rights and Girls Rights. So the question must be asked: Why did the drafters of these Initiatives fail to specifically repeal the Gender Identity Protected Class laws in these Initiatives? The answer appears to be that they did not want to offend the misguided proponents of the Trans Drug Cult. What we all need to realize is that it is not possible to protect both Girls Rights and Transgender Rights – because they are in direct opposition.
We must have the courage to publicly expose the Trans Drug Cult lies. The Initiatives may get a few more votes by pretending that we can have both Girls Rights and Trans Rights.
But by failing to address this conflict, what the drafters of the Girls Rights Initiative have really done is not only mislead the voters – but even worse, delay the restoration of girls rights for a few more years.
Steps needed to actually restore fairness to girls sports in our state
So if neither the June 30 2026 Supreme Court ruling or the 2026 Girls Rights Initiative will restore Girls Rights in our state, what will restore Girls Rights? We could draft another, better written Girls Rights Initiative to put on the ballot in 2028. But it is likely that it will take until 2028 for the litigation on the badly written 2026 Girls Rights Initiative to be resolved by the Washington Supreme Court.
If the Girls Rights Initiative is approved by the voters this November, it is certain that it will be challenged in court within weeks. It will then follow a path similar to the Natural Gas Initiative 2066 which was approved by the voters in November 2024 and then challenged in King County Superior Court. In March 2025, a King County judge issued a verbal ruling that Initiative 2066 violated Article 2, Section 37 of our State Constitution (among other defects) and blocked the Initiative from taking effect. In May 2025, this judge issued a written opinion with the same conclusion. This opinion was then immediately appealed by the Initiative sponsors to the Washington Supreme Court. It took 7 months to file all of the legal briefs. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments from both sides in January 2026 – but still has not issued a written opinion. It is highly likely that the Supreme Court will issue an opinion rejecting the natural gas initiative by the end of August. That will be just short of two years after the voters approved the Natural Gas Initiative.
Assuming a similar timeline for the Girls Rights Initiative, it will likely be ruled to be unconstitutional by a King County Judge in Spring 2027 and will be appealed by the Initiative sponsors to the Supreme Court shortly after a written opinion is published in May 2027. It will take about 7 months to file all of the legal briefs.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments from both sides in January 2028 – but likely delay issuing a permanent ruling blocking the Income Tax Initiative until July or August 2028. Should the Supreme Court rule against the Girls Rights Initiative in 2028 – at least I will be able to say that I tried to prevent this disaster.
Another drawback of drafting another Initiative is that as long as our State legislature is controlled by the Trans Drug Cult, they can simply litigate the Initiative for a couple of years and then repeal it. So the ultimate solution requires replacing the current Washington State legislature with a legislature that will restore both Girls Rights and Parents Rights by putting an end to the Trans Drug Cult. It short, we need to find people willing to learn the truth about the Trans Drug Cult and then have the courage to run for office by publicly telling the truth about the Trans Drug Cult.
The good news is that there are Girls Rights legal cases in several states currently working their way through our federal court system. These cases will help us expose the ugly truth about the Trans Drug Cult. Many of these cases should be decided in the next couple of years – just in time for the 2028 election. We will review the current status of four of these cases in our next article – which we will publish near the end of July.
In the meantime, if you want to help restore Girls Rights and Parents Rights in Washington State, please share this article with your friends and neighbors. Also, please take the time to attend our next monthly meeting of our Washington Parents Network – on Sunday, July 5, 2025 from 4 to 5 pm. We will review Supreme Court Girls Rights decision and the Girls Rights Initiative and our plan to eventually restore both Girls Rights and Parents Rights here in Washington State.
