Five middle school girls who previously protested against the participation of a “transgender” athlete in a track and field event have been banned from future competitions, as reported by the New York Post. This decision came after the girls refused to compete against a biological male who identifies as a female during shot put and discus competitions. The incident occurred following the overturning of a West Virginia law that aimed to protect female athletes from competing against transgender individuals, which the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals recently blocked.

The girls, from Lincoln Middle School, stood up against the inclusion of a 13-year-old “transgender” individual in girls’ competitions. Despite their peaceful demonstration, the school board banned them from participating in future events. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey took action on behalf of the dissenting students and requested the Supreme Court to intervene, emphasizing that the girls’ protest was a quiet demonstration of their opposition to the court’s decision.
Former NCAA athlete Riley Gaines voiced her disapproval of the ban and criticized the decision to exclude the girls instead of addressing the inclusion of the transgender athlete. Morrisey expressed his commitment to defending the girls, denouncing the radical transgender policies and pledging to stand for what is right.
The situation has sparked a contentious debate regarding the rights of female athletes and the inclusion of transgender individuals in sports. The decision to ban the girls from future competitions has brought attention to the ongoing legal and ideological battles surrounding this issue.
