West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey vowed to keep fighting to keep biological males out of girls' sports after a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday to overturn a state transgender sports ban because it 'violated the Equal Protection Clause and Title IX.' The 2-1 ruling Tuesday from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocks a West Virginia law, signed in 2021, that bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams.
Offering B.P.J. a ‘choice’ between not participating in sports and participating only on boys teams is no real choice at all,' Judge Toby Heytens wrote in Tuesday's opinion. 'The defendants cannot expect that B.P.J. will countermand her social transition, her medical treatment, and all the work she has done with her schools, teachers, and coaches for nearly half her life by introducing herself to teammates, coaches, and even opponents as a boy.
