West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey has again promised to keep fighting to protect girls\u2019 sports as a \u201ctransgender\u201d biological boy competed against girls in the state track championship.<\/h3>\n

A West Virginia law that banned boys and men from competing in female sports was blocked by a federal appeals court. The state has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

In a post to Facebook on Saturday, Morrisey wrote, \u201cA boy is currently competing in girls\u2019 sports at the high school state track meet in West Virginia. It\u2019s wrong and unfair. I\u2019m again urging officials to keep separate scores so that the true winners can be awarded once we win in court.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not stop fighting to protect girls\u2019 sports,\u201d the governor continued.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The legal battle against the law was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and its West Virginia chapter on behalf of then-11-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, a biological boy who identified as a girl and wanted to play on female teams.<\/p>\n

Morrisey\u2019s post was also about Pepper-Jackson, now 13, who finished in third place in the discus and eighth in the shot put, according to a report from Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Morrisey has also called on coaches to allow girls to protest against boys competing against them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe what is going on right now in West Virginia \u2013 with boys playing sports against girls \u2013 to be abhorrent and contrary to law,\u201d he previously wrote in a post on Facebook. \u201cWhile we wait for the Supreme Court to issue their ruling in this case, I\u2019m calling on all coaches involved to let these brave athletes take a stand for what is right without unfair punishment.<\/p>\n

Federal Appeals Court Blocks WV Law Banning Biological Males From Playing on Girls Sports Teams<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“As we all work toward removing the wrongly-decided injunction in upcoming months, I ask for all tournament officials to keep a full set of results so that true winners of each event may be recognized when the Supreme Court rules in our favor.”<\/p>\n
