A federal appeals court has overturned a West Virginia law that banned transgender girls from participating in sports teams aligned with their gender identity. The court ruled the law violated Title IX and the U.S. Constitution, protecting the rights of a transgender middle-school girl to compete in girls' track and cross-country teams.
Several girls staged a "step out" protest and refused to compete Thursday in Bridgeport, West Virginia, at a middle school girl's track and field event due to the participation of a transgender athlete. https://t.co/TgQIksPaBA https://t.co/Fq9tYxWbF2
