On Tuesday, a United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a West Virginia law that bars biological boys from competing on girls' sports teams cannot be enforced with regard to a 13-year-old who competes on the girls' track and field team at the athlete's middle school.
"The defendants cannot expect that [this athlete] will countermand her social transition, her medical treatment, and all the work she has done with her schools, teachers, and coaches for nearly half her life by introducing herself to teammates, coaches, and even opponents as a boy," Judge Toby Heytens wrote in his decision, according to the Associated Press.
It's important to note that this ruling does not impact the West Virginia law – it only applies to the individual in this particular case, since the individual began transitioning in third grade, prior to hitting puberty. However, the ruling does potentially pave the way for other, similar cases.
On Thursday, several girls "stepped out" during a meet to protest the inclusion of the transgender girl at the center of this case.
The athlete in the case competes for the Bridgeport Middle School girls' track & field team in Bridgeport, Virginia.
Bridgeport participated in the 2024 Harrison County Middle School Championships on Thursday afternoon at Liberty High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Several members of one of the girls' shot put teams "stepped in" then "stepped out" to protest the inclusion of a transgender athlete in the meet. The transgender athlete competes in both shot put and discus throwing.
When each of the Lincoln girls had her name called to compete, she stepped into the ring but instead of throwing the shot, she stepped down and refused to participate. They did the same for the discus event.

Good choice. Go woke go broke.
This is the only way to stop this madness. Don’t play along.
100%
I hope these girls face no reprocussions over this, they deserve praise.
I’m sorry to say that this is occurring in my neighborhood. The Clarksburg/Bridgeport, WV locale.
I’m proud for our students that can see the harm being done with this destruction of modrales, etc.
This is understandable and reasonable in a moral world. I don’t think we have that anymore.
I think that the pervs are winning and will continue to win as long as the non-pervs show up. Shut down any event in which even one perv attempts to participate. That’s the only answer. There is no hope in our utterly corrupt judiciary and legislatures.
The girls that “stepped out” should be given a medal!
girls and parents start your own club or town teams and ban boys.
Why don’t they just step over with bats in hand and pummel the freak to a bloody pulp.
They can’t do that. Bats cost money.
Studies have shown males still have biological advantages even after suppressing adolescence testosterone. Plus, puberty blockers mean that boy will have lower IQ, calcium deficits, bone problems, lack of sexual satisfaction, plus deficits that the pharmacies and trans-mutilating physicians are hiding from patients and families.
I fear you are right about our present world.
“A solution to the problem is to let females be on what are now all-male teams.”
This is indeed the solution.
this way the scores could have 4 categories
Men,
Trans-Women
Trans-Men
Women
and sure we could add another category for Furries if you insist
