West Virginia is set to appeal to the Supreme Court regarding a state law that restricts transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's scholastic sports. This follows a recent ruling that allowed a transgender middle school athlete to compete, which West Virginia plans to challenge. The state's attorney general, Patrick Morrisey, confirmed the planned appeal. If the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case, West Virginia could become the first state to have such a law reviewed at this level. Currently, twenty-five states have enacted similar laws barring transgender athletes from female scholastic sports.
