62: Inside the Supreme Court: What the Justices Really Said About Girls’ Sports

About this episode

Sophia Lorey discusses the implications of two major Supreme Court cases on girls' sports with attorney Brittany Jones.

Sophia Lorey is fresh back from Washington, D.C.—where she stood outside the U.S. Supreme Court during hours of oral arguments in two major girls’ sports cases. In Episode 62, Sophia is joined by attorney Brittany Jones , President of Kansas Family Voice ( https://kansasfamilyvoice.com/about/ ), who was inside the courtroom as the justices grilled attorneys on the meaning of sex, equal protection, and what Title IX was always meant to protect. Together, they break down the two cases— Little v. Hecox (Idaho) and West Virginia v. BPJ —and explain why the legal questions matter far beyond those states. Brittany walks listeners through what it’s like to attend Supreme Court arguments in person, what stood out from the bench, and why the court’s questions often hint at the next cases already coming down the pipeline. You’ll hear reactions to some of the most striking exchanges, including pointed questions about defining sex and whether separating sports by sex is “discrimination”—and why the stakes aren’t theoretical for female athletes. Sophia and Brittany also connect the moment to state-level fights (including California), and explain how a strong ruling could shift the pressure…
