West Virginia, who adopted the “Save Women’s Sports Act” in 2021, appeals to a lower court decision that allowed transking athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson to compete at the school’s cross country skiing and track teams. Last year, Pepper-Jackson qualified for West Virginia Girls High School State Track Meet, which finished in third place in the Discus-Kastet and eighth in the shot put in class AAA division.
The fourth US Appeal Court of Appeals gave the benefit of Pepper-Jackson, who has taken puberty-blocking medicine in a April 2024 decision based on the straight protective clause of the constitution.
Idaho, who became the first state of the country to ban transnry athletes from girls and women’s sports in 2020, asked the Supreme Court to hear his case involving Lindsay Hecox, a trans athlete who wants to compete for Boise State’s Women’s Baneteam.
A 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals Panel maintained an injunction that blocked Idaho State Law in 2023.
HECOX asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to drive its challenge against the Idaho State Act.
“While it is important to play women’s sports for Mrs. Hecox, her highest priority is trained from college and lives a healthy and safe life,” a Filing from Hecox’s lawyers read. “MS. HECOX has therefore decided to permanently withdraw and refrain from playing women’s sports at BSU or in Idaho covered by HB 500.”
Meanwhile, Idaho -Rets Attorney Raul Labrador Hope for the Supreme Court to make a decision with a wider influence than just to have a state implement its own specific law on the issue. He wants a new national precedent. “I think that’s what they have to do,” Labrador told Pakinomist Digital in an exclusive interview.
“I think they will have a great decision on whether men can participate in women’s sports, and more importantly how to decide whether trans -bright individuals are protected by the federal constitutions and state and federal laws.”
