Quick Glance: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports

A federal appeals court has overturned a ban on transgender individuals participating in sports in West Virginia, citing a violation of Title IX.

The court ruled that the law cannot lawfully be applied to a 13-year-old girl who has identified as female since the third grade.

The decision favored the American Civil Liberties Union, its West Virginia chapter, and the LGBTQ advocacy group Lambda Legal, who filed a lawsuit in 2021.

West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.

Trump campaign assails Biden for declaring March 31, Easter Sunday, as Transgender Day of Visibility

apnews.com/article/biden-easter-transgender-trans-trump-2acc05052d01272ed21ab83f32d99a77

Quick Glance: White House Responds to 'Dishonest' Republican Criticism of Biden's Transgender Proclamation on Easter

The White House is pushing back against misleading criticism from top Republicans of President Joe Biden for issuing a proclamation in support of transgender people on Easter.

A spokesman for the president rejected attacks from the House speaker and others claiming Biden's message for the Transgender Day of Visibility contradicts Christianity.

Biden has issued a proclamation marking March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility every year since taking office in 2021.

Biden allies are also challenging the attacks and highlighting that the criticism this Easter weekend also involves an egg art contest for the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
