by JOHN RABY | Associated PressFILE - In this Nov. 3, 2020, file photo, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice celebrates his reelection at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. A federal judge on Wednesday, July 21, 2021, blocked West Virginia from enforcing a new ban on transgender athletes. The law, signed by Justice in April, would prohibit transgender athletes from competing in female sports in middle and high schools and colleges.
In February 2023, the court had blocked the state's bid to kick Becky Pepper Jackson off her middle school track and field team if the law were enforced. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Republican, said he was “deeply disappointed” in the decision. West Virginia is one of at least 24 states with a law on the books barring transgender women and girls from competing in certain women’s or girls sports competitions.
