I'll bet there are some justices on the U.S. Supreme Court who don't want to touch the "transgender" sports issue with a ten-foot pole.
The reason for it is that any separation of men and women in scholastic sports covered by Title IX may be outlawed as a violation of Federal civil rights law.
Kinda makes ya wish for sharia law to bring balance back to the male/female/other equation. Seems the leftists want women out of sports too. Why Else would fake women be promoted over REAL women? To discourage real women and “put ya’ll Back in chains”. Yep...democrats. doesn’t matter Who the slaves are as long as they have some. And the women’s libers run away with tail tucked. No surprise there. Women’s liberation was NEVER about Real Women.
Remember when all they wanted was for “Two men to be legally married to each other”?
Remember when we warned about that “slippery slope” and were ridiculed and called homophobic?
Now all they want are our children.
The Supreme Court rarely issues emergency orders.
Somebody should show up at the steps of the USSC and say they identify as a supreme court justice and demand to be let in to sit on the bench.
Lawsuit continues; in the meantime, he gets to continue competing. Not nearly as bad as the disinformation media portrayed it. They simply won’t bar the trans person from competing while the lawsuit is pending.

"Supreme Court rules 12-year-old transgender girl CAN compete in middle school girls sports teams in West Virginia while lawsuit over state bans continues
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The misguided (imo) post-FDR era Supreme Court is arguably not only ignoring case precedent that recognized only biological sex at birth, evidenced by Minor v. Happersett (Minor), but also seems to be ignoring that the states have never expressly constitutionally protected sex outside the scope of voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment which was inspired the Court's decision in Minor.
“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnished an additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
After all, the justices who decided Minor did not tell Virginia Minor that she needed only to claim to be a man in order to vote.
The Supremes also seem to be showing intent to weaponize the court system, possibly hoping that the state court decides in favor the (indoctrinated?) 12-year-old versus constitutionally unchecked state powers on this state law imo.
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive”
Let me guess, all the female justices voted for this.
bad headline, the supreme court did not rule on anything, but simply said let the process continue with the appeals court for now.
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.
Good thing we worked so hard for that Conservative majority .
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.
I hope the team just sits down.
Supreme Court rolls over again like a trained dog.
