- A federal appeals court ruled in favor of a transgender teenager who sued West Virginia over the state's law barring trans athletes from competing on girls' and women's sports teams in public schools and colleges.
In a 2-1 ruling Tuesday, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Becky Pepper-Jackson, 13, a who argued that the law prevented her from running on the girls’ cross-country and track teams at her middle school.
The federal appeals court, which is based in Richmond, Virginia, concluded that the state legislation violated Title IX, a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools or education programs that receive funding from the federal government.

| Get rid of the whole difference altogether then. Let women play against men with international soccer games because you may not discriminate. Good luck. I bet the men will be proud when they win too. And why is there age discrimination? Discrimination is bad. Let them play against toddlers. | |

| Is this an attack from men who are fed up with women always getting special treatment? In some cases I really wonder, when they don't even do effort to look female and just want to win. Maybe their ex got the kids and they're mad? | |

| The biological differences mean that having a biological male on a team is a disadvantage to biological women. We see the news often where a biological male beats a woman in a "woman's sport". Fair? Not even close. | |
