A few weeks back, we told you about five middle school girls in West Virginia who took a stand against transgender wokeness by refusing to compete in a shot put competition against a male who identifies as a girl, Becky Pepper-Jackson.

Yesterday came the shocking news that the five girls who forfeited have been banned from future meets.

Said activist Riley Gaines on X, “Rather than banning the boy from girls sports, they ban the girls from girls sports. You can’t make this stuff up.”

The good news? The state attorney general and parents of four of the girls are fighting back. The parents filed suit last Friday against the Harrison County Board of Education, and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has filed an amicus brief in hopes the state Supreme Court will step in.

The suit contends the district has violated the girls’ First Amendment rights as well as their right to due process.

West Virginia has a law banning males from participating in women’s sports. However, two days before the competition, a federal appeals court overturned the law — as least as it applied to Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old boy taking puberty blockers and estrogen injections.

By the way, Pepper-Jackson won the event, with a shot put toss of 32 feet — three full feet further than the second-place finisher.
