In West Virginia, a judge has granted a temporary injunction to four middle school girls who protested against competing with a transgender athlete, Becky Pepper-Jackson. The injunction, issued by Judge Bedell, allows the girls to participate in track meets without repercussions. Judge Bedell stated, 'Even though there was no malice found on either part of the defendants, the plaintiffs have met their burden and the temporary injunction has been granted,' as reported by WBOY-TV in Clarksburg. The girls had previously been barred from competition following their silent protest during a meet on April 18. The lawsuit, seen as a victory for advocates of single-sex sports, challenges the eligibility of transgender students in female sports categories. A final decision on the injunction will be made at a later hearing.
