A federal appeals court has ruled that West Virginia's transgender sports ban violates the rights of a teen athlete.
West Virginia 's transgender sports ban violates the rights of a teen athlete under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the law cannot be applied to a 13-year-old who has been taking puberty-blocking medication and publicly identified as a girl since she was in the third grade.
We must keep working to protect women's sports so that women's safety is secured and girls have a truly fair playing field,' Morrisey said. 'We know the law is correct and will use every available tool to defend it.'In January 2023, a federal judge dissolved a preliminary injunction that was granted in July 2021. The judge also ruled the state's transgender law did not violate Title IX.
