Judge halts West Virginia law targeting transgender athletes

Judge halts West Virginia law targeting transgender athletes POLITICO 4 hrs ago By Bianca Quilantan © Provided by POLITICO West Virginia’s law is the first such set of restrictions on trangender athletes to be paused this year while legal challenges are ongoing. A federal judge decided Wednesday to temporarily block a West Virginia law that bars transgender women and girls from participating on school sports teams that match their gender identity. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 11-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, a soon-to-be middle schooler looking to try out for her school s girls cross-country team. Lawyers on behalf of Pepper-Jackson argued the West Virginia law discriminates on the basis of sex and transgender status, violating both the Fourteenth Amendment s Equal Protection Clause and Title IX, a federal education law that prevents sex-based discrimination.

State, local school officials say they didn t ask for transgender athlete ban

CHARLESTON The state Board of Education, the state Secondary Schools Athletic Commission and the Harrison County school board all have asked to have a case regarding the state’s impending anti-transgender athlete law dismissed. All three of the groups say they shouldn’t be included in the lawsuit because the law, which is set to take effect July 8, isn’t one they asked for and isn’t one they’ll be responsible for enforcing, according to court documents. The groups filed motions last week in federal court in the case brought by 11-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson and her mother Heather Jackson. They say the law would prevent Pepper-Jackson from trying out for her middle school cross country team for the 2021-22 school year. They seek an injunction to keep the law from going into effect.
