The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has told the state of West Virginia it cannot enforce a law prohibiting biological males from competing on girls' sports teams.
The case stems from a 13 year old biological male, who identifies as a girl, and who filed suit against West Virginia for a law which specifies sports participants must compete on teams of their biological sex. The "girl," who has been taking puberty blockers from the age of nine, wants to join the girls' track team. West Virginia said no. The 4th Circuit said "You can't do that."
A lower West Virginia court had already ruled the state could not enforce the law against that particular child. The state appealed. The appeals court ruled they cannot enforce it at all, citing discrimination. The court obviously doesn't understand the science of biology and the differences between males and females. Or they simply don't care. The court, which was once one of the most conservative in the country, has become liberal since Barack Obama appointed six liberal judges, and Biden nominated two, to the 15 member bench. Several others were nominated by Clinton.
Rather than ruling in favor of biological males participating in girls' sports, America would be better served by a child abuse investigation of parents and doctors who put a nine year old boy on puberty blockers. But we already know that won't happen.
