Federal judge blocks West Virginia ban on transgender student-athletes [Judiciary Confused About Sex]
Washington Examiner ^ | 07/22/2021 | Kaelan Deese

A federal judge blocked a law in West Virginia this week that banned transgender girls from participating in female teams.

The judge ruled on Wednesday that the Mountain State cannot block transgender girls from playing on female sports teams. Gov. Jim Justice signed the bill in law on April 28, which initially banned transgender girls and women from participating in public school sports consistent with their gender identity. The ruling marks the third federal court decision in the past 30 days to block anti-transgender laws from going into effect.

"At this point, I have been provided with scant evidence that this law addresses any problem at all, let alone an important problem," District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin wrote in his ruling.

...The West Virginia ruling came hours after a federal judge blocked an anti-trans law in Arkansas that would have banned doctors from providing young patients with gender-affirming care.

Some judge.

Can’t even tell boys from girls. Much less parental rights or legislative authority.

Goodwin thinks it is cool to let boys go up against girls. He also doesn't think the people of West Virginia are smart enough to govern themselves. Both big problems with his "thinking".

Since when did judges acquire the authority to tell legislators what kind of law they can write. Their job is to point out conflicts in law, and always side on the side of the Constitution. But blocking laws they don't like ... it's not in the job description.

The State of West Virginia should tell the feds to go f**k themselves and tell the court to bring their army.

Women are paying the price for this nonsense so let them petition their representatives to change this. Perhaps the women, who seem to love Democrats will at last wake up to how they are being used.

Ignore the judge. Escalate and force the issue onto the front burner. This war and only one side is fighting.

U.S. Southern District of West Virginia Judge Joseph Goodwin has given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States of America.

FWIW, the Olympic women’s soccer team got their leftist asses kicked by a local boys soccer team made up of 15 year old children.

If we really wanted a gold medal, all we needed to do was to have those boys identify as girls and send them all to Tokyo.

They did. The judge vetoed them.

“They did. The judge vetoed them.”

Appeal and appeal and appeal again. Make it a National issue and very high visibility. They need to keep fighting no matter what until they persevere.
