Five West Virginia middle school students who protested a trans athlete's participation in a shot put competition have been banned from future competitions. Becky Pepper-Jackson, 13, competed in the Harris County Middle School Track and Field Championship on April 18, two days after a federal appeals court ruled West Virginia’s transgender sports ban violates the teen's right under Title IX. Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn, then refused to throw the ball.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the student's behalf after they were banned from future events. 'I will do everything in my power to defend these brave young girls. This is just wrong. We must stand for what’s right and oppose these radical trans policies,' Morrisey said on Monday.

You've fallen into the trap of referring to someone's sex as their "gender".
Thank goodness for WV attorney general filing a lawsuit for those girls. I can’t believe the school treated those girls like that. Now I know why other girl athletes don’t protest. WV AG can truly pursue this case, and hopefully get a righteous ruling.
Last I heard, 70% of voters are against males competing as women and competing as women. The evidence says males are stronger and faster. More votes for Trump.
Exactamundo.
“Trannies be wack!” - Gays.
Who cares? Let me think....hmmm...millions of home schooled kids who enjoy the physical aspect of playing a sport? It’s not the main focus. The term in intramural activity.
My second ‘competing as’ is supposed to be ‘competing against.’
There are 2 genders. The new woke dictionary changed it from its original meaning.
Using the woke dictionary is a sign that someone has been defeated.
Interesting point
Is Pepper-Jackson the mentally ill male? The 5 true females parents should sue Biden, the DOE and the Democrats.
Have you read the article?
He has a long history of filing and winning this sort of lawsuit. He's now running for governor, so his successor will have to follow through on this one.
Unless I’m reading it wrong, the WV AG is suing on behalf of the girls being banned because they refused to participate.
Now, the mentally ill boy said HE is a girl as age 8? I would love to see his home life, I bet he lives with two man hating lesbians.
They believe it if it fits their view of Science!! 🤓
Yes.
The GOP is making political hay, and those girls are no longer able to compete.
The GOP controlled West Virginia legislature passed a law against deranged men competing in women’s/girls’ sports. The GOP West Virginia governor signed that law. The GOP West Virginia attorney general is currently suing to support that law in the face of an intransigent federal district court judge. EVERY GOP candidate for office in West Virginia is proclaiming opposition to ‘trans’ crap.
Please explain how that translates to the GOP being “pro trans”. Make sure that your explanation is comprehensible by an actual West Virginia mountaineer ...
