A decision was announced in the Supreme Court case of West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox on Tuesday, June 30th. The ruling upholds state bans on transgender girls and women competing in girls’ and women’s school sports according to Yahoo and Fox News.

Montana AG Knudsen Sounds Off on Supreme Court's Decision

In a statement published to the site for the Montana Department of Justice, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen chalked up the decision as a victory.

"Today, we celebrate a huge victory for women’s and girls’ rights and safety in Montana and across the country," AG Knudsen said, "The laws affirmed today are common sense: men should not be allowed in women’s locker rooms or to compete in women’s sports."

"My hope is that moving forward women and girls can feel safe in the locker room and have the opportunity to participate in fair competitions, just as Title IX and generations of women before them fought for and intended."

According to the release, Knudsen has been actively fighting for the cause citing his presence at the Supreme Court "when oral arguments were presented to support the protection of women's rights."

Back in 2024, Knudsen sued the Biden administration "over an unlawful Title IX rule" and was granted a preliminary injunction.
