"State asks Supreme Court to allow transgender athlete ban
West Virginia will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to allow it to enforce a 2021 state law that bans transgender athletes from female sports teams.
The law has faced legal challenges from the beginning. The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Feb. 22 to reinstate an injunction blocking the law."

and in an almost...coordinated-feeling fashion:

"National ban on transgender athletes in girls’ sports passed by U.S. House panel
The U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee early Thursday passed a bill on a party-line vote that would block transgender girls from competing in school sports consistent with their gender identity, a reflection of a broader push in multiple states to curb the rights of transgender student athletes.

The bill, H.R. 734, introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, a Florida Republican, would amend Title IX to require student athletes to compete in sports in accordance with “a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth,” with the bill’s language specifically targeting transgender girls.

The bill would also make it a Title IX violation for facilities that receive federal funding to allow transgender female athletes to compete in sports designated for women.

After a more than 16-hour markup that lasted from Wednesday morning into early Thursday, the legislation passed 25-17.

1. This is why it is so important

That the democrats hold the presidency and the senate in 2024! Millions of transgender Americans will be robbed of our liberty if we don't.
