U.S. Supreme Court rejects West Virginia's request to enforce its law banning transgender athletes from female sports teams.
- Thread starter firkinEER
- Start date
Actually the SC just ruled that because there was ongoing litagation the wanna be "participant" who filed the suit could not be stopped from competing. Morrisey said it was just a temporary set-back and would be taken care of ASAP.
However, the U.S. Education Dept. ruling is a whole different thing. Another extortion measure by the Feds.
Here is the ruling by the court on the WV decision:
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Thursday sided with a 12-year-old transgender girl who is challenging a West Virginia ban on transgender athletes joining girls sports teams, temporarily blocking the state from enforcing the prohibition. West Virginia officials approved the prohibition in 2021. The law requires public schools to create sports teams based on sex assigned at birth. A middle school student who competes on girls' cross-country and track-and-field teams and her family sued in federal court, asserting that the state's ban violates the Constitution and federal law. The Supreme Court denied the state's request to temporarily revive the ban while the underlying litigation continues without explanation, as it often does in emergency cases. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented from that decision. "Among other things, enforcement of the law at issue should not be forbidden by the federal courts without any explanation," Alito wrote, referencing a lower court's decision to halt enforcement of the law, which was also done without explanation. Officials in Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee and other states have enacted similar laws. Here's a look at what's next for the transgender sports case at the Supreme Court. What to know about the WV Supreme Court transgender sports case West Virginia passed a law in 2021 barring transgender girls from playing on school girls' sports teams from middle school through college. Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 12-year-old transgender girl who currently competes on her school's cross-country and track-and-field teams sued, alleging the prohibition violates the Constitution. A federal district court sided with the state in February, ruling that officials appeared to be "permitted to use biology as the sole criterion in separating school athletic teams." But the Richmond-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit essentially put the lower court's ruling on hold in late February, allowing Pepper-Jackson to try out for the teams. The state appealed the decision to the Supreme Court. West Virginia officials asked that the Supreme Court allow it to continue to enforce the ban while the underlying case works its way through the lower courts.

Good. About time hate mongering Nazi's trying to wreck our democracy were stopped from taking away rights-you know the same fools pretending their rights are being taken away when not one has?
What they really mean though is they want to be able to openly discriminate and practice hate and no one else should have any rights.
Rethuglicans have already stolen American citizen's:
Voting rights- throwing valid voters off of voter rolls. blocking valid voters from voting. blocking multiple methods of voting. restricting access to the ballot box. Illegal gerrymandering in numerous states to steal representation from citizens. On and on and on.
Election results- (see Tennessee removing duly elected congress people for protesting gun violence as prime most recent evidence of REAL theft)
Free speech--arresting, beating, attacking Americans excersing freedom of speech through words, protests etc.
Removed women's right to privacy in health care and self determination over their own bodies.
Removed LGBTQ rights
Banned books ONLY for racist, hatemongering rethugs who want to alter history and reality to excuse away they and their forebearers actions which negatively impacted other people.
The American Taliban has got to be stopped. They are rapidly turning this once great democracy into a third world dicatatorship ruled by idots.

The researchers found that transgender women had about 40% greater muscle mass than cisgender women. Moreover, they were about 19% stronger and had 20% greater cardiopulmonary capacity. By current NCAA and Olympic rules, these Transgenders are allowed to compete in women's sporting events.
Researchers found that, although the transgender women had about the same testosterone levels as the cisgender women, they had about 40% greater skeletal muscle mass. Moreover, they were about 19% stronger and had 20% greater cardiopulmonary capacity. Interestingly, transgender women’s athletic markers generally fell right in the middle between cisgender men and women.
“Long-term estrogen exposure and testosterone suppression were not enough to completely shift the body composition of transgender women to the female pattern, despite their direct and indirect effects on fat and lean mass,” the researchers wrote.
The research does show that even transgender women undergoing long-term hormone therapy, with testosterone levels comparable to cisgender women, likely have a significant advantage in raw physical ability over women born biologically female.
By current NCAA and Olympic rules, these transgenders are allowed to compete in women’s sporting events.
These transgender individuals are not women and have no business in female sports or activities.
They want to play sports then let them start their own Transgender teams for you wussy's to follow.
Show me the right to privacy in the constitution? Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg said it was not there. Don't like the SCOTUS ruling on abortion, then change the constitution.
So now you right wing nuts are selling people have the RIGHT to conceal and carry weapons whose purpose is to KILL other people, but people have no right to privacy in their own healthcare?
WTF is wrong with you Nazi's?
The supreme court as constituted is just a right wing fake court. It wasn't put together in a reasonable or rational/legitimate manner and positions were STOLEN from a duly elected president and voters. It is filled with right wing radical ideologs, those taking bribes from radical right wing donors, rapists, etc. The whole thing is going to have to be redone in order to bring legitimate BALANCE to the court rather than having it be a radical rightie mouthpiece putting out illegitimate rulings. You didn't like the SCOTUS ruling prior to this banana court changing it for Women's rights that stood for decades, now did you? But of course in your demented minds--only what YOU personally want matters. So you have no problem with them taking away U.S. Citizens rights while you pretend your rights are violated if you can't practice your ignorant and destructive hate. Of course ending abortion has nothing to do with caring about LIFE as you actively and openly support murder of people of color by police, murder of cops by radicals like yourself trying to overthrow the government of the U.S., murder of people trying to immigrate to the U.S., murder of people who support the right to choose what happens to your own body, murder of people by denying healthcare and protection from epidemics, etc. etc. Not to mention keeping people from healthcare, living wages, clean air and water, housing, etc. You don't give a $h!t about life, just power, money and HATE.

No lying FOX noise and the other Russian backed radical right wingers destroyed yours.
Can't wait until that American destroying fake news propaganda machine loses billions and hopefully is bankrupted and taken off the air in the current lawsuit where a foreign national (Murdoch) admits to lying about your god king Trumps winning the election he didn't- you know, an IMMIGRANT only made a U.S. citizen so he could create FOX for the radicals and buy up U.S. news sources which was not legal unless he was granted citizenship. He admits the channel spewing garbage propaganda is not news, yet you saps lick it up as he wrecks the United States democracy.
Idiots.
Hey moron. The Supreme Court that stood up second amendment rights was full of the liberal A team of judges.
Go sell stupid somewhere else
Never call people idiots when you are much much dumber than your audience.
