"They simply won’t bar the trans person from competing while the lawsuit is pending."

Yeah, so it's just too bad for the real girls that get steamrolled
out of competition in the meantime.

I think the Deep State controlled SCOTUS didn’t want to tip Deep State’s hand yet.

None of this is about the rule of law anymore.

We are no longer a republic.

And Deep State’s strategy appears to be working to some extent.

There are people who believe we still have an independent SCOTUS.

We need to realize that this is all about playing a game. The public schools have their hands full trying to teach. Cancel the games, and if anyone has a problem with it, point them at the transgender community.

So many of clowns on the wrong side of this talk about their pretend girls like the are real girls it gets very confusing to me. Good for Morrissey. This is the most absurd, made up, wrong-headed issue ever contrived. Competitive sports between REAL women needs to be preserved with integrity. Allowing biological men to compete as women kills ALL integrity for women’s sports.

But he’s a boy-—so would the ruling “can boys play in girls sports” stand? Because scientifically, he’s a boy with a wig-—which is still a boy playing girls sports. Transgender does not change science....he is a boy (biologically) and will always be a boy.

I guess Conservatives and Christians can go out and start shooting up schools now? The media will surely have sympathy on us for being “oppressed”.

The child does not look like he has gone through male puberty.

Also has breasts,so has started estrogen already at 12, unless he is just padding.

Poor kid.

The article has some good information. “Under the law, male athletes can play on male or co-ed teams and female athletes can play on all teams.

US District Court Judge Joseph Goodwin initially barred West Virginia from enforcing its law and allowed Pepper-Jackson to compete on the girls’ teams while the case continued.”

“But Goodwin ultimately found that the law does not violate the Constitution or Title IX, the landmark 1972 gender equity legislation. Goodwin, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, ruled the law could remain in place as appeals continued.” That ruling was appealed.

“A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1, without issuing any opinion, to put the law on hold while it considers the case.

The two appeals court judges who voted to put the law on hold were Pamela A. Harris, an appointee of former President Barack Obama´s, and Toby J. Heytens, an appointee of President Joe Biden´s. Judge G. Steven Agee, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, dissented.”

I think (and I am not sure) the next step is to take it to the full circuit to appeal the ruling by the smaller number of judges.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to let the law go into effect is certainly not the final say in the matter. It may end up going back to them.

The legislation is the law banning biologically born males from playing on women’s sports teams.

I am betting that if you look into every ‘trans’ child you will find liberal LIEberal INSANE parents.

There! Fixed it!

“I dont knew if this country is even worth trying to save.”

I’ve about written it off. I had planned to bolt after Biden got elected followed by the Dems taking the Georgia Senate Runoffs (due to Trump voters being so angry...they let the Democrats win), but Manchin and Sinema bought me time.

But that was over 2 years ago...now we’re just a LAUGHING STOCK masquerading as a country. I don’t know why Russia and China even respond to us, since it should be OBVIOUS that there won’t be much of America left, given our Ukraine policy...and if that’s not enough, what about all of the other wonderful things that Brandon’s people are doing, like ARRESTING their political opponents and blowing up pipelines that they disagree with?

Anyway, 2 of my kids are married off in other countries - countries that likely will be around when the Leftists here (Ukraine War supporters) finally finish off the United States, and the rest also know that they better do the same, and likely will (one has a boyfriend halfway around the world). I’ll pick one of their new countries and give a go at it, hopefully before the US gets what it deserves for letting the Neocons run loose.
