West Virginia v. B. P. J. · ¶26

Over the past several years, some biological males who identify as female have sought to play various women’s and girls’ sports. Some of them have taken, as relevant here: (i) puberty-blocking drugs that suppress the rise of puberty- inducing hormones; or (ii) cross-sex hormones and other drugs, such as those that suppress testosterone or increase estrogen, sometimes called hormone therapy. (For ease of reference, we will refer to puberty blockers and hormones.) Those biological males contend that by taking puberty blockers or hormones, they can mitigate the physical advantages inherent to their biological sex, as relevant to sports.
