In response to the Supreme Court decision in West Virginia v. 
BPJ, Karla Gonzales Garcia, Gender, Sexuality, and Identity Director at Amnesty International USA said: 
“This decision comes at a time of rising authoritarian practices under the Trump administration, which use gender and sexuality as a cultural battle for political gain. 
Amid escalating efforts to legalize discrimination against transgender people, this decision could pave the way for broader laws that exclude transgender people from public life altogether. 
“Transgender youth should have the same opportunities afforded to their cisgender peers. 
Athletic programs are essential to the growth and development of all young people. 
Today’s ruling would deny transgender youth the ability to participate in recreational activities with their friends and peers  simply due to their gender identity. 
“Transgender people are our family, neighbors, friends, coworkers and community members, and the U.S. government will not force them from existence. 
We are united in solidarity with every young transgender athlete whose future feels less certain today. 
“Together, we will continue to fight for a better future  one where transgender people can enjoy their human right to bodily autonomy and a life of freedom, safety and dignity.”
