April 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday refused to let West Virginia enforce a state law banning transgender athletes from female sports teams at public schools, one of many Republican-backed measures across the country targeting LGBTQ rights.
The justices denied West Virginia's request to lift an injunction against the law that a lower court had imposed while litigation continues over its legality in a challenge brought by a 12-year-old transgender girl, Becky Pepper-Jackson. Two conservative justices, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, publicly dissented from the decision.

Two conservative justices, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, publicly dissented from the decision.
The law, passed in 2021, designates sports teams at public schools including universities according to "biological sex" and bars male students from female athletic teams "based solely on the individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth."

“Some people on this site have a knee-jerk reaction to something and don’t understand what was decided in a legal proceeding…”
In a matter concerning boys who say they are girls and should be able to compete on the girls team. Right.
How the hell can anyone claim rationality in a matter that is wildly almost comically irrational?
We’re so far down the rabbit hole…it’s pathetic.
That’s what I read yesterday
Thanks for posting the dissent...
sure thing
Yes.. it was procedural and not on the merits of the case which were not addressed...
Meanwhile women’s sports will continue to be destroyed...
Facts on the ground behind created. The longer this plays out and the freaks are normalized the harder it will be to reverse.
West Virginians need to think of a more permanent solution.
I know there are articles posted here with research proving a male athlete who went thru puberty is stronger and faster than a woman athlete, but I can’t find them. Oy vey. I’ve got to come up with a keyword for that, so I can find them quickly. I wish there was a SCOTUS case on allowing transgender AKA fake women to compete against women in sports, because all that research will be submitted to SCOTUS.
A 12 year old transgender “girl” ..the parents are unfit. No 12:year old is capable of “deciding” their gender and the kid is being goaded by HIS parents and likely gender bending “therapists” into believing HE is a she. This is pathetic.
It has nothing to do with FL.
It’s a procedural move. Not an actual court decision. They’re letting it move through the courts
If no one has figured it out yet The USSC is one of the most lawless courts of all time. Turning evil now. And to think that even Trump installed at least two of those communist infiltrators.
Not the "end of the world" apparently -- at least, not yet. Thomas and Alito are getting older though.
“ So women support democrats and Conservatives cannot change these women ?”
for a goodly amount, Women solve things with emotion instead of logic (hence the term hysteria). Men more so with logic. Though plenty of both sexes cross those lines.
It’s time to go rogue. Take matters into our own hands and tell these nutcases to go to hell.
<>It’s a procedural move. Not an actual court decision.<>
It’s easier to ask water to run uphill than for most Freepers to read WTF they post about.
bump
The media lies. There is not a majority of women in America that want to kill their babies via an abortion. The media lies
Back to topic. There is not a majority of American women supporting trannys. The media support is 99% but not American women’s support is less than 2%. . The media lie. American women do not vote in the way the media claim
This nation is hurtin...
It’s incredible to read the news day to day.
This is so blatantly a disgusting moral issue play by the
Left to destroy this nation.
How long do these twits think the follow-on Democracy will
allow them to exist?
These guy’s strategic planning starts ten minutes ago and
lasts only until they get what they want and move on to
the next issue.
When this nation falls, the world falls with it, and
the LGBT+ movement and all it’s adherents die within a
a couple of months.
I wouldn’t be happy about it, but it is what it is.
They maneuvered themselves into this mess.
