On her show this week Megyn Kelly read a powerful portion of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court opinion that plainly lays out why girls’ sports must be protected as a distinct category. Americans who care about fairness and the legacy of Title IX should listen closely to what a sitting Justice had to say about competitive integrity and safety for female athletes.
Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion reminds us that Title IX transformed this country by opening locker rooms, fields, and courts to millions of girls, and that those gains cannot be treated as collateral damage in an ideological experiment. He explained that sports are often zero-sum — roster spots, playing time, and trophies are finite — and that allowing biological males onto women’s teams can displace female athletes and take life-changing opportunities away from them.
The opinion also notes that national sports bodies have acted to preserve fair competition: the NCAA and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee have recently moved to restrict biological males from competing on women’s teams, underscoring that experts in the field recognize the stakes. This isn’t abstract theory; it’s the reality coaches and parents see every season when girls’ safety and chances to compete are put at risk by politically driven policies.
Megyn Kelly’s reading of Kavanaugh’s words was a patriotic reminder that the courts and the court of public opinion still matter when it comes to protecting girls. Conservatives should be proud that a mainstream voice is amplifying a clear defense of biological distinctions in sport and the real, measurable benefits Title IX delivered for millions of American women.
If we care about decency, fairness, and the future of women’s athletics, lawmakers and parents must take this moment seriously and lock down protections for girls’ sports at every level. The Court’s opinion — joined by recognition from dozens of states and major athletic organizations — gives conservatives a legal and moral foundation to stand on as we demand that girls keep their teams, their awards, and their safety.
