ACLU: West Virginia attorney general trying to block transgender girl from participating in school

When you read this tweet from the ACLU, it sounds like West Virginia’s attorney general is trying to block a 12-year-old transgender girl from attending school.

West Virginia's attorney general is trying to block a 12-year-old transgender girl from continuing to participate in school — and he's trying to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court.

We urge the Court to reject this egregious and cruel case. https://t.co/MEfeRgtb4T

— ACLU (@ACLU) March 20, 2023

Well, this is a lie. https://t.co/zs3EIsGa36

Yes, it is. By “continuing to participate in school,” they mean playing on girls’ sports teams. The Reuters article about the “egregious and cruel case” reads (and see if you can detect any bias in the first paragraph):

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said on Thursday the state will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to allow enforcement of a law banning transgender athletes from female sports teams, one of numerous Republican-backed measures across the country targeting LGBT rights.

The 2021 law, passed in 2021, bars male public high school or post-secondary students from female athletic teams “based solely on the individual’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”

In the lawsuit, “Becky” Pepper-Jackson and her mother Heather argued that the law discriminates based on sex and transgender status in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law as well as the Title IX civil rights law that bars sex-based discrimination in education.

By “participating in school,” do they mean just playing on the girls’ team, or sharing the locker room and showers as well?

What careful and pointed wordsmithing. The omission of the word "sports" after "school" is such a conscious effort to inflame passions by not telling the whole story. Do better.

This is a lie.

Shame on you.

Do better.

Fixed it for you:

“West Virginia's attorney general is trying to ensure that girl’s sports remain safe and fair for girls by enforcing eligibility requirements — and he's trying to take the case all the way to the Supreme Court.”

ACLU becomes more irrelevant by the day

— Uncommonly Nuanced Otter (@88Otters) March 21, 2023

That's good. An attorney general with balls.

— Tony Branco (@TonyBranco) March 21, 2023

The point isn’t to be cruel to this specific child. The point is to maintain some semblance of a shared reality when it comes to competitive sport: in which biological difference between sex plays an indelible part.

— Hollywood Moderate (@HollywoodMod92) March 21, 2023

You realize that’s now an anti-science position?

Bit of a misleading headline, ACLU. Participating in school…on the girls athletic team. Yes. Boys shouldn't be competing with girls. It's misogynistic. It is erasing girls from girls sports.

— Textra (@Minerverse) March 21, 2023

If you could say with a straight face that biological males should compete in womens sports you’d say it!

But you know it’s absurd and ridiculous- so you dance around it and dishonestly frame it.

Cowards

— Chris Jenkins (@ChrisJe40906141) March 21, 2023

I heard they won't even let her go to classes or even eat while she's there, just because she's trans?

— Dr. Literaleigh A. Pheline🇺🇦pa🏳️‍🌈roh🏳️‍⚧️dee (@Sarcasmcat24) March 21, 2023

Why are you lying about what the law says? No one is being banned from participation in "school". Biological boys are being prevented from participating in girls' sports.

— MKLiberty650 (@FrancieNolan6) March 21, 2023

Stop trying to erase real women. Thank you wv ag 🙏

— HoldTheseBags4me (@HBags4me) March 21, 2023

Please. Let's continue to shit on hard working girls with mediocre boys. Misogyny wins again.

— Mickey Lombardo (@MickeyLombardo) March 21, 2023

We’re sure the school will provide counseling to any girls upset about this and begin reprogramming them.

Sounds like another knucklehead who was “assigned” the wrong sex by the wizards at birth. ROTFL.

By “continuing to participate in school,” they mean playing on girls’ sports teams.


Extracurriculars are usually limited to those participating in the school they are associated with. They are not a participation in school.

LGBT “rights” means special privileges and preferential treatment for certain people that are not extended to others.

No one is transgender. It is a delusion.

“transgender girl” = boy. Boys should not compete in girl sports.

Participation should be blocked when private personal anatomy might be violated or where gender strength differences would result in unfairness.

Play along with the transgender delusion when things are just for fun or recreation.

Local men who allow this stuff are no better than the faggots who perpetrate it. Stand up, fathers. Don’t you want to protect your kids, or are you afraid someone will call you names. Oh, the horror! Sack up guys.

Does the individual involved have a penis or a vagina? Are the chromosomes XX or XY for this individual?

Are we even allowed to ask such questions or does the mere question offend the sensibilities of liberals on this issue?

And are we even allowed to ask if these issues have anything to do with civil rights? Is there really a civil right for a boy who plays dress up as a girl to compete on a girl’s sports team?

I think NBC News should put their money where their mouth is and have their female anchors step into a boxing ring with men then.
