West Virginia says it will appeal ruling that allowed transgender teen athlete to compete

The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals halted West Virginia's 2021 ban on transgender students in sports, citing a violation of federal law under Title IX. Judge Toby Heytens made this decision following an ACLU lawsuit representing eighth-grade trans teen Becky Pepper-Jackson.
West Virginia intends to seek U.S. Supreme Court intervention after the appeals court allowed a transgender athlete, Becky Pepper Jackson, to compete on school teams. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the state's ban violated Title IX, preventing discrimination based on sex.
Despite attempts by West Virginia to remove Becky Pepper Jackson from school sports, the appeals court maintained her participation, leading the state to appeal the ruling against its transgender athlete prohibition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
