福克斯新闻报道了最高法院支持爱达荷州和西弗吉尼亚州相关法律的裁决，该裁决实际上禁止生理男性参加女子体育赛事。宪法法律专家乔纳森·特利和首席法律通讯员香农·布里姆解释称，该裁决符合“跨性别身份不属于种族或宗教这类受保护类别”的观点，将相关决策权留给了各个州。

明尼苏达州民主党州长蒂姆·瓦尔茨因谴责周二最高法院关于女子体育跨性别运动员的裁决并称之为“残忍”，而在社交媒体上遭到保守派人士的强烈反对。
“最高法院称各州可以对跨性别儿童残忍相待，我的态度很明确：在明尼苏达州，我们与跨性别邻居和年轻人站在一起，重视他们，”最高法院在做出支持西弗吉尼亚州和爱达荷州、反对起诉要求获得女子体育参赛权的跨性别运动员的裁决时，瓦尔茨在X平台上发帖称。
瓦尔茨的言论立即在社交媒体上遭到保守派人士的抨击，其中许多人来自明尼苏达州。
“更残忍的是让一个已经对自己身体感到不适的少女，在更衣室里和裸体男生毗邻而换，”明尼苏达州共和党参议员朱莉娅·科尔曼在X平台上发帖称。“更残忍的是让我们的女孩在球场上被生理男性打得落花流水，错失奖学金和更多参赛机会。更残忍的是将你的基本盘置于女性的安全和机会之上。”

“你又一次无视美国的法律，”明尼苏达州公路巡逻队前中尉约翰·纳格尔在X平台上发帖称，他目前作为共和党候选人在明尼苏达州第5国会选区竞选国会议员。“你不支持女性权利。你没有任何立场。你就是民主党一切问题的代表。”

“蒂姆·瓦尔茨称最高法院裁决保护年轻女孩、让男性远离她们的体育赛事是‘残忍’的，”共和党全国委员会账号在X平台上发帖称。“真正‘残忍’的是鼓吹对儿童进行性别阉割，以及让男性进入她们的更衣室，你这个变态。”
“对这些孩子真正的残忍是 perpetuate（延续）他们可以成为不同性别的谎言，”明尼苏达州共和党参议员迈克尔·霍尔姆斯特伦在X平台上发帖称。“其后果是毁掉人生——以及全州女孩的受害。明尼苏达州民主劳工党已经脱离现实。”

“美国最差州长，”Townhall专栏作家达斯汀·格雷奇在X平台上发帖称。“幸运的是我们已经曝光了他，他很快就要退休了。走好，蒂姆。”
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了瓦尔茨的办公室置评。
据福克斯9明尼阿波利斯频道报道，瓦尔茨当天晚些时候解释称，该裁决不会改变本州关于女子体育运动员的立场。
“最高法院允许各州随心所欲地对跨性别群体残忍相待，”瓦尔茨告诉记者。“但它也允许明尼苏达州这样的州尽可能做到友善和包容，所以我认为这是一个喜忧参半的结果。”
“我们会从可能发生的更糟情况出发，将其视为一件好事。在明尼苏达州，我们会继续以尊严、人性和尊重对待我们的跨性别运动员和年轻人。我们会继续这么做，那里不会有任何改变。任何能让孩子参与进来的事情，我都希望他们参与。那些从未参加过任何青少年活动的人一心要阻止某个孩子参加保龄球比赛，这太荒谬了。我认为明尼苏达人有很多其他事情要担心，而不是三个想参加体育运动的小孩。”
在备受期待的西弗吉尼亚州诉B.P.J.案和利特尔诉赫科克斯案裁决中，高等法院支持了要求学生运动员按照出生时的生理性别而非性别认同参加运动队的州法律。
最高法院以6票对3票做出了裁决。
如今，美国已有超过一半的州有权实施保护女子体育的措施，无需担心法律挑战。

不过，仍有23个州没有任何此类法律，包括加利福尼亚州、纽约州和马萨诸塞州，其中一些州还出台了保护女子体育跨性别运动员的法律。

Walz post calling SCOTUS girls’ sports ruling ‘cruel’ backfires online as critics reveal what’s even crueler
2026-07-01 09:54:49 EDT / Fox News
Minnesota GOP lawmakers were among those who condemned the governor’s stance on women’s sports

Published July 1, 2026 9:54am EDT
Fox News reports on the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Idaho and West Virginia laws, effectively banning biological males from participating in girls’ sports. Constitutional law attorney Jonathan Turley and chief legal correspondent Shannon Bream explain that the ruling aligns with the view that transgender status is not a protected class like race or religion, leaving the decision to individual states.

Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz faced backlash from conservatives on social media after denouncing Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling on transgender athletes in women’s sports by calling it “cruel.”
“As the Supreme Court says states can be cruel to trans kids, my message is clear: Here in Minnesota, we stand with and value our trans neighbors and youth,” Walz posted on X as the Supreme Court was ruling in favor of West Virginia and Idaho against trans athletes who sued to gain access to girls’ sports.
Walz’s comment was immediately blasted on social media by conservatives, many of whom are from Minnesota.
“What’s cruel is making a teenage girl, already uncomfortable in her own skin, change in a locker room next to a naked boy,” Minnesota Republican state Sen. Julia Coleman posted on X. “What’s cruel is letting our girls get the s— kicked out of them by biological males on the field and lose out on scholarships and more chances to compete. What’s cruel is putting your base above female safety and opportunities.”

“Once again you disregard the laws of America,” retired Minnesota State Patrol Lt. John Nagel, running for Congress as a Republican in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, posted on X. “You don’t support women’s rights. You don’t stand for anything. You are the face of everything that is wrong with the Democratic party.”
“Which Minnesota girl deserves to lose her spot on a team to a male athlete?” True North Legal attorney Renee Carlson posted on X.

“Tim Walz calls it ‘cruel’ that the Supreme Court ruled to protect young girls and keep men out of their sports,” a Republican National Committee account posted on X. “What’s actually ‘cruel’ is advocating for the gender mutilation of children and letting men in their locker rooms you sicko.”
“True cruelty to these children is perpetuating the LIE that they can be a different gender,” Minnesota Republican state Sen. Michael Holmstrom posted on X. “The consequence of which is the destruction of lives — and the victimization of girls across the state. The DFL has lost reality.”
WALZ APPROVAL RATING CRATERS TO LOWEST LEVEL EVER AND TRAILS TRUMP AMID MASSIVE FRAUD SCANDAL: ‘TIRED OF IT’

“Worst Governor in America,” Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. “Thankfully we have exposed him and he’ll be headed to retirement soon. Good riddance, Tim.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Walz’s office for comment.
Walz later in the day explained that his state’s position on girls in boys sports won’t change as a result of the ruling, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported.
“The Supreme Court has allowed states to be as cruel as they want to be to transgender people,” Walz told reporters. “They’ve also allowed states like Minnesota to be as kind and welcoming as they can, so I kind of view this as a mixed bag.”
“We’re going to view it as a positive considering what could have been done. In Minnesota, we can continue to treat our transgender athletes and youth with dignity and humanity and respect. We’ll continue to do that, nothing will change there. Anything that gets kids involved, I want them to be involved. This idea of folks who have never been to any youth event are hell-bent on making sure some kid doesn’t participate in bowling is ludicrous. I think Minnesotans find there’s a lot of other things to worry about than three little kids wanting to play sports somewhere.”
In the highly anticipated rulings in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, the high court upheld state laws requiring student-athletes to compete on sports teams that correspond with their biological sex at birth rather than their gender identity.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3.
Now, more than half of the states in the U.S. are empowered to enforce the protection of women’s sports without fear of a legal challenge.

However, there are still 23 states, including California, New York and Massachusetts, that don’t have any such laws, and some of those have laws to protect trans athletes in girls’ sports.
