, identified by the American Civil Liberties Union as Becky Pepper-Jackson, has participated on the girls’ track-and-field team since enrolling at Bridgeport Middle School under a July 2021 preliminary injunction implemented shortly after the law was passed.
Nineteen states have banned male-born athletes from competing in female sports based on gender identity in a debate pitting fairness against inclusion, but the 2021 West Virginia law is the first to reach the Supreme Court. Judge Goodwin, a Clinton appointee, also denied a motion to stay his decision pending appeal, but the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the temporary injunction last month, allowing Becky to try out for track team on Feb. 27.
