Federal appeals court blocks West Virginia transgender sports ban
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.
